PETER SEMNEBY GOT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM ARMENIA
Support A1+!“I come to Armenia as often as I can to talk on the regional issues, like Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, implementation of the European Neighborhood policy, as well as the relations of Armenia with its neighbors. This time I am here in connection with the upcoming parliamentary elections which are, of course, of great importance”, Peter Semneby, EU special Envoy for the South Caucasus told A1+ today.
As for the current pre-election campaigns in Armenia and the fact that the Opposition is deprived of air-live broadcasting, Mr. Semneby said, “It is important that these elections are conducted according to all the rules, i.e. they are free and fair. It is important for both Armenia and the European Union as Armenia is a part of European neighborhood policy. I am aware that the opposition is deprived of broadcast and I know that there are many complaints on this score. I am discussing also bringing up all those issues with government officials but fundamentally it is up to election observers to make judgments on these issues.”
