PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN NKR MEET INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS: OBSERVERS
FROM USA
STEPANAKERT, JUNE 20. ARMINFO. June 19 elections to the parliament of
the 4th convocation in NKR were transparent and free.
According to ARMINFO's special correspondent from Stepanakert,
Representative of the "Group of Public Right and Policy of the USA"
Paul Williams made this statement on behalf of the group today. He
says the amendments to the Election Code of NKR allowed political
parties to participate in the elections. The elections met
international standards, the American observer thinks. He says the
reform of the Election Code has led to development of democracy and
the country has made a considerable step towards democracy. Factually,
electors had a right to get first hand view of the pre-election
programs of the candidatures. Participation of the army in the
elections was restricted. All the 6 participants of the US Observation
Mission met with all the political parties running for the parliament,
journalists, representatives of all the power branches, visited all
the electoral districts and did not fix any extraordinary situations,
Pail Williams says.
At the same time, he thinks there were some problems of technical
nature, International recognition of Nagorny Karabakh requires further
development of democracy and improvement of the country's
administrative structure, which functions rather effectively at
present, he thinks.
It should be noted that 73.6% of electors from 89,925 potential or
66,197 citizens participated in June 19 elections. The largest
attendance was 95%, the smallest 55%, the special correspondent of
ARMINFO reports.
