    DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER: INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING OSCE, SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR ASSESSMENT OF ELECTIONS IN ARMENIA

    Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 22 / Trend, I. Izzet /

    International organizations, including the OSCE, that stated that
    elections in Armenia were held in accordance with international
    standards, should be ashamed. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister,
    Chairman of the State Committee for Refugees and IDPs Ali Hasanov
    at an event at the Turkish Embassy in Azerbaijan, commemorating the
    Khojaly genocide, held on Friday.

    "They have been deceiving us for 20 years. What kind of statement is
    this: "Nothing happened! The elections went well"? "Is that really
    true?" Hasanov said.

    The Committee Chairman reminded that according to the CEC of Armenia,
    there are allegedly 2.5 million voters in the country.

    "Throughout the world, the number of people entitled to vote
    constitutes 50-54 per cent of the total population. In that case,
    Armenia has 2.5 million voters? OSCE is busy making good-sounding
    statements. The U.S. State Department has also supported the
    statement," Hasanov said.

    Presidential elections were held in Armenia on Feb.18. Incumbent
    President Serzh Sargsyan won the presidential elections with 58.64
    per cent of the vote. The First Foreign Minister of Armenia Raffi
    Hovannisian ranked second winning 36.75 per cent, while former Prime
    Minister Hrant Bagratyan ranked third after receiving 2.15 per cent
    of the vote.
