ARMENIA SUGGESTS LIMITATION OSCE ROLE IN ELECTION PROCESSES
A document has been circulated at the Russian-European Union summit held these days in Lisbon, which introduces limitations of the OSCE observers authority in elections. According to Daily Telegraph, the document was signed by Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The same source also published in its pages the text of the proposed document. Head of the Minsk Ecuum analytical center Sergey Musenko informed that this document was signed already on October 5 in Dushanbe. In case the document is accepted by the OSCE member states, instead of 400-600 observers approximately 50 will be sent to CIS. Besides, the document suggests that OSCE observers should abstain from giving evaluations of the election results. The same document is expected to be discussed on November 30 at the session of the foreign ministers of the OSCE member states. Today the representatives of the RA NA factions referred to this fact during a briefing. The Dashnaktsutyun faction leader Hrair KARAPETYAN is definitely for the OSCE observers to perform their mission in our countries in the extended format. At the same time, he suggests that representatives of all the member states of OSCE should be included in the mission and submit their evaluations based on facts only. We think that it would be good to have their representatives in all . s, for them to see everything with their own eyes instead of rushing to a marz upon getting a signal, and then say: you know, by the time we got there, nothing like that was going on, but could have been, we heard that it was. These processes should not be based on something heard from others. Such conclusions are very important as they form opinion about us in all international structures, added Hrair Karapetyan. However, Avet ADONTS, member of the NA Prosperous Armenia faction, was unaware of the existence of such a document. He noted, though, that it is suggested that the OSCE observers mission be limited in election processes. Eduard SHARMAZANOV, member of the Republican faction, expressed an opinion on the necessity of compliance of the actions of the Armenian authorities with the national interests, so he is sure that there is no issue of performers of observation mission in our country. Double standards are frequently applied in todays world. Its not correct to speak here about the OSCE impartiality, but anyway, there are international organizations, also in Armenia, whose impartiality could be questioned, and who apply double standards, concluded Eduard Sharmazanov.
