    ARMENIAN ELECTION TO COMPLY WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

    Russia & CIS Presidential Bulletin
    January 31, 2008

    The Armenian presidential election will meet international criteria,
    President Robert Kocharian said.Governmental agencies have done
    their best to prepare the election in keeping with the schedule,
    the presidential press office said.

    The president told EU ambassadors that the government would prevent
    any harm to the daily routine of the election campaign. Armenia is
    living through a very important period, he added.

    The authorities want to hold a really good election, he told a
    delegation of election observers from the Parliamentary Assembly
    of the Council of Europe (PACE) led by John Prescott. We think that
    election observation missions will also make a contribution, he said.

    Prescott voiced hope that the upcoming election will be a step forward
    in Armenian development.

    Armenia will hold the election on February 19. The Central Elections
    Commission has registered nine candidates. Four international
    organizations and five local non-governmental organizations have
    been accredited to monitor the ballot. In total there will be several
    thousand election observers.
