The parliamentary elections in Armenia were held in a calm and
peaceful atmosphere, said Robert Hilton, Foreign Service Officer and
Director of Press at the US Department of State.
The parliamentary elections, which were conducted in Armenia past
Sunday, were held in a calm and peaceful atmosphere, and with the
participation by opposition parties and election observers, Hilton
noted, and highly evaluated the improvements recorded this time, as
compared with the previous national elections in Armenia.
We support the OSCE/ODIHR observers' mission's conclusion, whereby the
elections were `competitive, lively, and largely peaceful.' At the
same time we share the OSCE/ODIHR apprehensions with respect to an
`unlevel playing field' during the pre-election season and on election
day, and in regards to buying votes and applying improper pressure
against the constituents, Hilton said, the Voice of America reports.
In the post-election period we will continue to follow the facts
discovered by the elections' international and local observers, and
the examination of the cases launched on election violations, said the
US Department of State's Foreign Service Officer and Director of
Press.
