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:
