BRITISH OBSERVER MISSION DOES NOT RECORD SERIOUS VIOLATIONS IN
PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN NKR
STEPANAKERT, June 20. /ARKA/. The British observer mission has not
recorded any serious violations in the parliamentary elections in
Nagorno Karabakh, Mark Almond, British Helsinki Human Rights Group,
told reporters. He pointed out individual technical problems during
vote-count. This procedure may be organized in conformity with the
OSCE requirements in Nagorno Karabakh, but the mechanism is not quite
effective, he said.
Almond stressed that elections in Nagorno Karabakh have been much more
democratic than in many recognized countries. During last 14 years the
British observer mission has monitored 100 elections, and this fact
can be stated with calm conscience, he said. The opposition says that
the administrative resource was used, but these are the fault of
democracy characteristic of all countries, Almond said. P.T. -0--
