    ARMENIAN NU PARTY CALLS FOR INTERNATIONAL OBSERVATION OF ELECTIONS

    YEREVAN, February 9. /ARKA/. Armenian National Unity party turns with
    a request to the OSCE, Council of Europe, CIS countries and their
    accredited ambassadors to Armenia to carry out a long-term observer
    mission during the election campaign.
    In its statement the party points out that the necessity is accounted
    for by the obstacles aimed to prevent opposition parties' access to
    TV channels - too high prices and corruption of the authorities.
    "We attach importance to a long-term mission, as the polls prove that
    97.8% of the population are sure that free and fair elections are the
    main precondition for rule of law and battle against corruption in
    the country," says the statement.
    The Party states its readiness to take leading stands in this
    struggle supporting those who are concerned about the future of the
    Armenian nation.
    Parliamentary elections in Armenia are scheduled for May 12, 2007.
