"The CE and OSCE Armenian offices are an obstacle for legal
elections", says President of NGO "Supreme Council Deputy group" Ruben
Torosyan. According to him, the RA authorities carry out downright
fabrications as they are sure that "head of the OSCE Yerevan Office
Mr. Pryakhin will praise them for everything".

As for the activity of the CE Armenian office, "For Mrs. Urumova,
the elections are the May voting, that is why she does not ‘notice’
the fabrications during the accreditation of the observers".

Ruben Torosyan thinks that "the low quality of the CE and OSCE
Armenian offices has its negative influence on the organization of
legal elections in Armenia".

So, he offers to temporarily close both offices during the election
period.
