YEREVAN. - Armenian authorities did not `digest' mass falsifications,
which occurred during parliamentary elections this year, opposition
Armenian National Congress (ANC) MP Levon Zurabyan said at a press
conference on Friday commenting on international agencies' estimations
regarding May 6 parliamentary elections in Armenia.
According to Zurabyan, ahead of parliamentary elections a donor
conference was scheduled to support Armenia in the amount of $2
billion. However, the EU conditioned this opportunity by organization
of democratic process of the elections. On this regard, he mentioned
that the OSCE final report has been published on the elections, which
stated that the elections in Armenia contradicted the obligations
assumed for the OSCE.
The opposition MP said that the EU expected visible reforms from
Armenia, progress in the Karabakh peace process and willingness to
overcome problems prior to the 2013 presidential elections. As a
matter of fact, the Armenian authorities have promised to hold free
and fair elections, which they failed to fulfill.
This means that the condition was violated and the EU currently sets
forward two new conditions, including acceleration of the Karabakh
conflict and overcoming the faults, which were observed during the
parliamentary elections. The Armenian authorities did not `digest'
mass falsifications, which were observed in the parliamentary
elections, he added.
