Yerevan, 9 February: The special representative of the Council
of Europe’s secretary-general in Armenia, Bojana Urumova, today
said in Yerevan that if there are serious election fraud, an issue
will be raised to suspend the Armenian delegation’s mandate in the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
Speaking at the national press club today, Urumova said that
developments of this kind could seriously undermine Armenia’s position
in the Council of Europe.
Urumova hopes that Armenia’s opposition forces will not boycott the
forthcoming election to the National Assembly. She said that "every
citizen of Armenia bears responsibility for conduction of a free and
fair election".
