The dynamics is obvious in comparison to the former National Assembly. However, it would be good to think how much it is comparable to the European and worldwide tendencies. I believe that this question may only have a negative answer as in European countries the average representation of women in parliaments is 26-27%. Besides, the Electoral Code of the RA has stated 25% quota for women but women\u2019s representation in the NA has significantly decreased due to the territorial lists. It is obvious that women lose in similar \u201ccompetitions\u201d. This is not a competition with equal conditions, and in general, I think that territorial electoral lists are remainders of the past. Nevertheless, they were used driven by specific political interests and current requirements. In a word, the gap has reduced as compared to the former NA but not to a stage to able to consider women\u2019s representation as sufficient not only for Armenia but also for any democratic country or a state on the way to democratic reforms. Moreover, the world is progressing, and in 2015 a new benchmark 50\/50 was defined within the SDGs adopted by the UN for equal representation of women and men in development processes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Full text of Interview in <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.womennet.am%D5%A4%D5%AB%D5%B6%D5%A1%D5%B4%D5%AB%D5%AF%D5%A1%D5%B6-%D5%A4%D6%80%D5%A1%D5%AF%D5%A1%D5%B6-%D5%A7-%D5%A2%D5%A1%D5%B5%D6%81-%D5%A1%D5%B3%D5%AB-%D5%BF%D5%A5%D5%B4%D5%BA%D5%A5%D6%80%D5%B6-%D5%B8\/\">Armenian<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"newstxt\">Vladimir Osipov, a sociologist and PhD talk about the effectiveness of gender quota: &nbsp; &#8211; I think quotas definitely worked.
