YEREVAN, May 22 (Itar-Tass) -- There is still a lot to do for
holding elections in strict compliance with international standards,
Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan said at a Tuesday meeting of
the OSCE/ODIHR election observation mission chief.
"We wanted the recent elections to be Armenia's best," he said,
adding that it is not so easy to resolve the remaining problems.
The premier promised a thorough analysis of critical remarks from the
election observers and thanked the mission for an unbiased evaluation
of the recent ballot.
Sargsyan singled out three priorities: upgrading of the Election Code;
defining of culpable violations; and technical assistance to election
commissions, including additional training.
The Republican Party of Armenia, which gained the majority of mandates
in the National Assembly, will target for the maximum engagement of
political forces in the formation of a government, enjoying people's
confidence, Sargsyan said. The premier is the Republican Party leader.
