Waiting for an invitation

17/02/2007

If the upcoming Armenian National Assembly election results are falsified (of course, we hope that that will not happen), then it may lead to the raising of the issue of authorizations of the Armenian PACE delegation,” said special representative of general secretary of PACE in Armenia Boyana Urumova during a press conference on Friday and added that the Council of Europe expects to get an invitation from the Armenian authorities to observe the upcoming Armenian parliamentary elections.

“We hope that we will get an invitation soon,” said Urumova, adding that this time, the Council of Europe intends on sending observers before Election Day. According to her, before the elections, some PACE representatives will conduct a pre-electoral observatory mission in April. In fact, Urumova says that that group will include people who have visited Armenia with that purpose before and are well-informed about the situation in Armenia.
