At the Yerevan City Hall President Robert Kocharyan held the annual
working consultation, during which the works done last year were
summed up and the programs for the current year were discussed. Among
other things, the President turned to the forthcoming presidential
elections. Robert Kocharyan noted that state agencies are doing
everything possible to organize proper elections. The President
underlined that we have enough political will to conduct free,
fair and transparent elections. We demonstrated the will during the
parliamentary elections and we realize that we simply have no right
to retreat.
We anticipate that party representatives included in electoral
commissions will go beyond the narrow party interests and will act
as members of a state agency and will work with this logic. Much will
depend on the quality of the Central and other electoral commission,
which are formed of party representatives.
