There are standards of free and lawful elections for the countries of
the EU, the CoE and the OSCE, which are obligatory for everyone. On
April 20 this idea was stated by Hans Winkler, Chair of the EU Troyka,
Secretary of State of Austria, in a news conference in Yerevan. He
said the European Union emphasizes the importance of the upcoming
presidential and parliamentary elections in Armenia and is willing to
monitor these elections. In answer to the question of a news reporter
if there is a border, below which falsification is acceptable and
above which it is not acceptable, the state minister of Austria said
a fair and free election is clear for everyone, and did not find it
necessary to explain what a lawful and fair election is, saying that
this notion does not need an explanation.
