FRLETS URGES POLICE TO REACT

Official

On April 20, RA NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan, received Boris Frlets, head of the observatory mission of the OSCE Organization of Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) to Armenia.

On Mr. Frlets’ request, Mr. Torosyan dwelt on the activity of the parliamentary working group which is to register the election frauds and violations fixed by the observers.

“I voice hope that we shall be able to recover the errors in a short period,” Mr. Torosyan says.

The NA Speaker finds the PACE observers’ announcement concerning the public indifference to the upcoming elections inadmissible. Firstly, people will display their attitude on the Election Day. Secondly, recent polling results testify that over 50-60 % electorate will participate in the election.

Mr. Torosyan disagrees to the observers’ opinion that the opposition and the acting authorities aren’t given equal footing. In this respect he said, that leaders of certain oppositional forces find the campaign coverage normal and balanced.

Mr. Frelts urged the RA police forces to reveal the recent incidents and encroachments in the city (shots at Erebuni district-editorial office) and wondered whether suchlike incidents have criminal or political grounds.

The two sides highlighted the atmosphere of tolerance and competence among the political forces cornerstones for free, fair and democratic elections.
