    On September 4 the Orinats Yerkir faction of the National Assembly
    held a discussion in the framework of the Civil Initiative for Lawful
    Elections", the main directions of which are:

    1. Amendments to the electoral code to make it comply with
    international standards and will lead the forces inside and outside
    the parliament who are for reforms to consensus;

    2. A clear system of training of members of electoral committees,
    which will guarantee an equal approach for all the political parties;

    3. Transparency of the electoral process, providing pro-active
    mechanisms of civil control;

    4. Guaranteeing freedom of the media, other institutions of the
    civil society in the electoral process, which presupposes several
    legislative reforms in the nearest future.

    The leaders and representatives of 14 political parties (including
    ARFD, People's Party, Labor Party, National Self-Determination Union,
    National Democratic Union, Republic, Orinats Yerkir) and NGOs.

    Over 50 political parties and NGOs endorsed the initiative (including
    Constitutional Right Union, Democratic Path, Alliance, and other
    political parties). However, since the National Assembly refused
    to provide the hall, it was impossible to invite all of them to
    the discussion.

    In presenting their standpoints the participants of the discussion
    pointed to the steps intended to guarantee lawful elections, approved
    the Civil Initiative for Lawful Elections and discussed the mechanisms
    of future cooperation.
