"2007 elections are practically over," Ruben Torosyan, head
of Human Rights-96, said in a regular meeting of Anti-criminal
movement. Torosyan has applied to become a member of the movement.
Torosyan said the upcoming elections will run smoothly. "In the
past, they broke the boxes, now they have stepped to propaganda," he
said. Moreover, there is an impression that the authorities in power
and OSCE observers have some kind of agreement between themselves. They
will come and register than everything went right, he said.
Torosyan complained that international observers came for 2 days only
during the last elections but preserved themselves the right even
to speak about advocacy. "And our observers, who conducted works for
3-4 months, were ignored," he said.
