Heritage Meets With European Monitors, Establishes Election Information
Center

Yerevan–Today, May 11, Heritage Party leader Raffi K. Hovannisian met with
representatives of the OSCE and Council of Europe observation missions. They
focused on the quality of the campaign season as it relates to democratic
benchmarks of fairness and transparency. In spite of the numerous violations
registered during this period, Hovannisian still expected that the
parliamentary elections will in their essence meet international standards.
They agreed that this special opportunity for Armenia’s democratic recovery
should not be missed.

Meanwhile, Heritage opened an information center that will coordinate
election monitoring efforts. The center will operate beginning today from
the party’s campaign headquarters, and will gather all information regarding
electoral misconduct from Heritage’s authorized observers who will phone in
at 11am, 2pm, 5pm, and 8pm on May 12. Calls from ordinary citizens
throughout the country will complement these data, as the center compiles an
accurate picture of the election process. A computer and statistics
department will serve to authenticate, organize, and present each piece of
information for the full report.

The findings of the center will be issued in press releases on May 12. Also,
at 3pm and 8pm on the same day, press briefings will be held at Heritage
Headquarters, located at 31 Moscovian Street, where all available data will
be publicized. The data will also be posted on Heritage’s website:
