"Unlike the previous elections, these elections in Nagorno Karabakh
were in large well-organized and transparent," the US election
observation mission members stated today.

"It is rather difficult to conduct elections in a conflicting country,"
said the head of the mission Vladimir Matich.

The US mission attended 50 electoral districts and observed slight
technical shortcomings.

"Most of all we were interested in voters’ complaints.

We wondered whether complaints and shortcomings would be addressed
in due time. We met with the Central Electoral Commission members,"
said Executive Director of the Public International Law and Policy
Group Pall Williams.

The observers’ report on the election outcome will be submitted to
the US Congress and international structures for further consideration.

Pall Williams noted the international community will once recognize
the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, since it is in a much more favorable
condition as compared to other similar formations.

It is due to mention that the mission members came up with suggestions
concerning the RA Electoral Code amendments.
