11:51 . 11/05
In Armenia, the May 6 parliamentary elections were held in a calm
and peaceful atmosphere, the US Embassy in Armenia thinks.
In his comment given to news.am the US embassy states that during the
elections the opposition forces have fully presented their viewpoints
and the participation of the observers was ensured.
“We support the conclusion of OSCE/ODIHR that the elections could be
characterized as “competitive, lively and, in general, with a peaceful
campaign,” the comment says.
“Nevertheless, the embassy has also touched upon the concern of
OSCE/ODIHR on “the unequal rules of game” during the campaign and on
the election day, as well as connected with buying votes and apllying
pressure on voters,” the embassy states.
The US Embassy will continue monitoring the conclusions of the
international and local observers, as well as the analysis of the
application-complaints in the post-election period.
