    and Cooperation in Europe's representative in Yerevan has called on
    all sides to exercise restraint during the final weeks of campaigning
    before municipal elections in late May.

    "All participants in the election should display high political and
    civil responsibility," the head of OSCE Yerevan office, Sergey Kapinos,
    was quoted as saying by Armnfo news agency. Kapinos noted that the
