The parliamentary election of 2007 showed that the amended Election
Code is a good legal basis for conduction of the democratic election in
case of a political will, and a premise for successful conduction of
the presidential election in 2008, Ambassador Vladimir Pryakhin, Head
of the OSCE Yerevan Office, said at a meeting with Tigran Torossyan,
Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Tuesday. To note, V.Pryakhin is
completing his mission in Armenia.
The Armenian parliamentary press-service told ArmInfo that T.Torossyan
assured the Ambassador that the presidential election of 2008 will
also be held in compliance with democratic norms. For his part,
V.Pryakhin highly estimated the parliamentary election held in Armenia
and emphasized that different international structures' estimations
coincide for the first time.
He qualified the election as unprecedented and complying with
democratic norms. V.Pryakhin stressed the role of parliament
and Speaker Torossyan who could find the right solution in any
situation. He expressed his content with the fact that the amended
Constitution vests the parliament with big authority, stressing that
the 44 months he spent in Armenia were months of fruitful work and
establishment of democratic institutions. V.Pryakhin also expressed
pity over the weakness of the Armenian opposition, and T.Torossyan
pointed out that the opposition's weakness affects the authorities
as well.
