    INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS DO NOT TAKE NOTICE OF ANY CONSIDERABLE
    VIOLATIONS DURING PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN NKR

    STEPANAKERT, JUNE 20. ARMINFO. International observers has not taken
    notice of any considerable violations in the course of the
    parliamentary elections of 4th convocation in NKR.

    According to ARMINFO's correspondent to Stepanakert, in the course of
    a press conference in Stepanakert, Observer Zoran Puzich from Croatia
    stated that had had visited electoral districts in all the regions in
    NKR together with other observes, but did not observed any
    considerable rigging. He emphasized the activity of electors, adding
    that fair elections were another step towards construction of
    democracy in Nagorny Karabakh.

    Another observer from Czechia Milan Stephanez (editor-in-chief of
    "Czechia" newspaper) says he visited only 9 electoral districts in
    Stepanakert, Askeran and Mardakert regions, so he cannot assess the
    elections on the whole. But he observed such lacks as poor knowledge
    of the Law and definite articles of NKR Election Code by the members
    of district electoral commissions, participation of contract military
    in voting with a passport of Soviet example, a case when a voter
    showed his ballot-paper to a member of the election commission. He
    says such and even more considerable violations were characteristic to
    the elections in Azerbaijan and Belarus. Yana Gradilkova, another
    observer from Czechia (NGO Berkat) thinks the elections free and the
    people in NKR do not afraid of asking questions and getting answers to
    them.

    Greek Observer Kostis Papaioannu has noticed the open interests of the
    citizens in the elections, aspiration to protect their right to
    freedom of will. He thinks the basic rights and freedoms, in
    particular, freedom of speech, are observed in Nagorny Karabakh,
    however, it is necessary to further develop them as democracy is an
    everyday process. He says he did not notice any serious violations.

    Marina Sargsyan, an observer from Czechia, pointed out the activity of
    electors, the transparency and all the other democratic principles of
    elections, on the whole. She thinks the elections will play their role
    in creation of Nagorny Karabakh's statehood.
