PETER SEMNEBY GOT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM ARMENIA
[07:04 pm] 02 March, 2007
`I come to Armenia as often as I can talk on the regional issues,
like Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, implementation of the European
Neighborhood policy, as well as the relations of Armenia with its
neighbors. This time I am here in connection with the upcoming
parliamentary elections which are, of course, of great importance',
Peter Semneby, EU special Envoy for the South Caucasus told A1+ today.
As for the current pre-election campaigns in Armenia and the fact that
the Opposition is deprived of air-live broadcasting, Mr. Semneby said,
`It is important that these elections are conducted according to all
the rules, i.e. they are free and fair. It is important for both
Armenia and the European Union as Armenia is a part of European
neighborhood policy. I am aware that the opposition is deprived of
broadcast and I know that there are many complaints on this score. I
am discussing also bringing up all those issues with government
officials but fundamentally it is up to election observers to make
judgments on these issues.'
