    Today John Prescott, the president of Election Mission announced
    that the evaluation of Parliamentary Congress on Armenian forthcoming
    presidential elections is in accordance with the evaluation published
    by the OSCE/ODIHR.

    According to the observers, holding legitimate democratic elections
    is closely connected with the increase of society's belief. The
    observers are concerned with the fact that people do not believe
    in the pre electoral campaigns. Thus they advise the government to
    organize everything possible to change the situation.

    The observers paid much attention on the fact how much all the
    candidates and their activities were covered by the media before
    the election campaign started. It was found out that Armenian media;
    particularly Public TV does not keep the balance among the candidates.

    According to Prescott the problem is connected with having Prime
    Minister among the candidates. He said that Serzh Sargsyan's
    willingness not to quit his position is appreciated but it creates
    unfair game. He said that many candidates complained only for that
    reason.

    The observers should carry out open meeting and announce the results
    of their examination. They met with the president, CEC chairman,
    National Assembly chairman, representatives of some NGO-s and
    candidates themselves. Prescott refused to name the candidate they
    did not meet with. He just commented that the particular candidate
    had very hard schedule.
