"There are many bright candidates in Armenia, and this is a very
positive factor, which leads to the increase of interest of the
population for political processes," Special Representative of
the European Union for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby said in an
interview with the Russian "Kommersant" newspaper.
"There are, indeed, problems with the media, and the most part of
the complaints here is from the candidates. Those complaints will be
considered in detail," the EU Special Representative stated.
Answering the question on the role of the "Russian factor" in the
election campaign in Armenia, Peter Semneby stated: "It is obvious
that there are close contacts between Armenia and Russia, but I do not
want to exaggerate the influence of the given factor on the electors."
