YEREVAN, February 6. /ARKA/. Local observers are able to follow the
course of the forthcoming presidential election in Armenia, according
to the CIS observers’ interim report.

All the presidential candidates can have authorized representatives,
but their number should not exceed the three-fold number of divisional
election committees, the CIS observers say in their report.

They call on executives and territorial election committees to secure
a proper election process at the first stage of the presidential
election campaign.

The CIS observers consider the RA General Prosecutor’s order to form
a monitoring group as an attempt to conduct legitimate and democratic
election.
