Intl bodies invited to monitor Armenian presidential election

YEREVAN Dec 28

Armenia’s parliament has invited international organizations to send
observers to the Armenian presidential election on February 19, the
speaker said.

Invitations have gone to the parliamentary assemblies of the Council
of Europe and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe, to the European Parliament and to the Interparliamentary
Assembly of the Commonwealth of Independent States, Tigran Torosian
told Interfax.

Torosian expressed hope that both short and long-term observers would
come.

It would be finally clear by January 10 which organizations would
monitor the election, he said.
