Goran Lenmark, special envoy on Nagorno Karabakh issue at the OSCE
Parliamentary Assembly, assumes that the OSCE observers will arrive
in Armenia 1 – 1.5 months earlier the parliamentary elections. Prior
to their arrival, another delegation will come to Armenia to observe
the preliminary works.
Lenmark left Yerevan for Tbilisi on Tuesday. During his interview
to Radio Liberty, he said, "There is no doubt that Armenians want
to have fair and transparent elections." He voiced hope that the
elections will meet the democratic standards.
Tomorrow Lenmark will leave for Baku to meet with Ilham Aliyev.
It is noteworthy that Lenmark’s meeting with RA President Robert
Kocharyan didn’t take place as "the president wasn’t in Yerevan"
in Lenmark’s words.
Viktor Soghomonyan, speaker to the RA President, informed Radio
Liberty that "there wasn’t any meeting with Lenmark in President
Kocharyan’s agenda."
