/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Parliamentarian elections in Armenia strengthened
the Armenian statehood, head of OSCE Yerevan Office Ambassador Vladmir
Pryakhin stated to journalists on Tuesday. "Armenia made a forward move
on the way of holding elections: compared with 2003, elections in 2007
were held in more quiet and democratic atmosphere. In general, during
parliamentarian elections Armenian statehood became stronger," he said.
At the same time Pryakhin underlined despite positive reports
on conducting parliamentarian elections, international observers
indicated some shortcomings, in connection of which "there were and
will be made recommendations, which as we hope, will be taken into
account while preparing for the 2008 presidential elections".
At the same time as a positive factor the Ambassador underlined
the special attention of law enforcement bodies towards elections,
registration of all shortcomings, examination of all applications
submitted by citizens. He is sure that criminal cases will be filed
in connection with all violations.
"At the same time and this is the nearest task, we’d like to see
a more serious, constructive and larger opposition, which would be
properly represented in the parliament. Unfortunately we do not see
it now yet," he underlined, "Novosti-Armenia" reports.
