/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The RA Central Election Committee will not invite
log-term observation missions for the presidential elections due
on February 19, 2008," CEC chairman Garegin Azaryan told reporters
Tuesday.
The CEC has decided to invite short-term missions only but this
doesn’t mean absence of long-term ones.
"The words of CEC Spokesman Bahchangulyan were misinterpreted by some
media, he said. The fact is that the CEC did not invite long-term
missions.
However, it doesn’t mean that there will be no long-term missions
at all. Besides the CEC, the President, government and parliament
are entitled to invite international observers," he said, Novosti
Armenia reports.
According to the CEC’s schedule the registration of observers will
last November 9-February 9.
