    07:07 PM | TODAY | OFFICIAL

    Armenian Ombudsman Karen Andreasyan received Wednesday Heidi
    Tagliavini, Head of the Election Observation Mission of the OSCE
    Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR)
    and Elissavet Karagiannidou, a legal analyst of the mission.

    During the meeting, the parties discussed the shortcomings of
    the previous parliamentary elections and the preparation for the
    forthcoming presidential elections.

    Members of the OSCE/ODIHR mission attached importance to the
    Ombudsman's involvement in electoral processes and showed great
    interest in the Ombudsman's report on the parliamentary elections.

    Also, they raised a number of issues, including the insufficient
    number of local and international observers, the mistrust of the
    public in electoral processes, the involvement of the Ombudsman in
    the election-related working group, etc.

    Heidi Tagliavini voiced hope that the cooperation with the RA
    Ombudsman's Office would be continuous, underlining again that the
    OSCE/ODIHR observation mission attaches importance to the work done
    by the Ombudsman.

    Karen Andreasyan, in his turn, expressed willingness to contribute
    to any initiative related to the issues raised during the meeting,
    the RA Ombudsman's Office reports.
