    No state can hold perfect election, Platvoet says
    13.04.2007 19:12 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ `The observers are not obliged with a task to sit in
    the polling stations and watch the process of election. We will watch
    the process as a whole. The most important aspect for us is counting
    of votes and delivery of the ballot-papers to the Central Election
    Committee,' Leo Platvoet, head of the PACE observation mission, told a
    news conference in Yerevan today. The investigation of facts of
    bribing voters is not the aim of the mission, he added. `The most
    important thing is trust of the people to the authorities and all
    those who are responsible for holding a fair and democratic election.
    No state, even a European one, can hold a perfect election. Albania,
    Azerbaijan, Montenegro, Serbia can serve as an example. Violations are
    fixed even in highly developed states like UK and Germany. Nevertheless
    I should emphasize that specification of the rolls and complaints of
    the citizens are the issues to be dealt by the Armenian law
    enforcement,' Platvoet said.
