OSCE/ODIHR PUBLISHED SECOND INTERIM REPORT
Yesterday OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights election observation mission published its second interim report covering the period of 27 January to 9 February. According to the report all the Precinct Election Commissions (PECs) have been formed to conduct polling on Election Day. OSCE/ODIHR observers reported that the PEC training sessions, which began on 30 January, were well conducted. The campaign rhetoric has at times been acrimonious. Eight candidates held campaign rallies. Most passed off peacefully, but unrest occurred at two of Levon Ter-Petrossians events. The OSCE/ODIHR EOM is aware of five incidents in which party or candidate premises have been damaged either through vandalism, shooting or possible arson, is written in the official report of OSCE/ODIHR. The observers notified that the serving Prime Minister, Serzh Sargsyan, is carrying out active campaign. In the regions, OSCE/ODIHR observers reported difficulties in distinguishing accurately between Serzh Sargsyans campaign and the work of local self-government, partly because some mayors are actively campaigning for Mr. Sargsyan, is mentioned in the report. The report also covers information about media monitoring, which indicates that the amount of political and election-related information has increased significantly from 21 January (start of official campaign period) onwards. On most of the media, the candidates total coverage time was more equitable than in the previous reporting period. However, the coverage of Levon Ter-Petrossian in various broadcast media contained many critical remarks, while the other eight candidates were presented in a generally positive or neutral manner. During a campaign rally Orinats Yerkir candidate Arthur Baghdasaryan alleged that he had recently received death threats. He did not specify who had made the threat. On 8 February, the Court agreed to hear a petition by Levon Ter-Petrossian claiming that biased media coverage constituted obstacles that make his further participation in the election impossible. Note that 40 short term and 260 long term observers are going to carry out their election observation mission.
