`Honorary Ambassadors ...
The crisis in the Republic of Armenia and the ways to break through it
is laid on the shoulders of the society. Therefore, we the citizens of
the Republic of Armenia consider it our immediate duty to act in the
interest of our state and our people. The Armenian public strives to
rid itself from the pressure of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
that -being closely intertwined with the state itself- tramples the
electoral rights of citizens.
Under these circumstances, the international observation missions have
inadvertently become the supporters of this party. We therefore appeal
to you with the request to cease the literally inadequate presence of
the international observation missions in Armenia.
We appeal to You to convey to the government of your state that the
election observers delegated to Armenia should leave our country,
since the Armenian authorities are not committed to keeping their
national and international duties with respect to ensuring free and
competitive elections. The mere fact of your presence and observations
are used to ensure that their actions are in accord with international
responsibilities. The withdrawal of the international observers will
mean that the ruling party will no longer be able to allude to
international observation's activity as a fact of false external
patronage tailored to justify its pressures on the society. It will
also contribute to putting the social perceptions in your country on
the right track.
Regardless of Your government's decision on this matter, we are
determined to retrieve the constitutional order in Armenia
guaranteeing the conduct of free and fair elections.'
