PACE: Free and fair elections never held in Armenia
[ 22 Jan. 2007 14:31 ]
Free and fair elections have not been held in Armenia since it became
the member of the Council of Europe, 2001, it is reflected in the
report made by Armenian Rapporteurs of the PACE Monitoring Committee
Mikko Elo, Georges Colombier, APA reports.
According to the report the situation became better after the
reforms carried out in the Electoral Code of the country in 2005.
"But the government should pay attention to two issues in connection
with election legislation - composition of election commissions and
process of appeals. The assembly hopes that the Armenian Parliament
will deal with the removal of current problems in the Electoral Code
within the cooperation with the Venice Commission. The PACE hopes that
free and fair elections will be held in Armenia in 2007-2008." /APA/
