    US embassy refused to conduct exit polls at presidential election in
    Armenia

    19-01-2008 19:02:17 - KarabakhOpen

    The US embassy to Armenia and the USAID has decided not to conduct exit
    polls at the presidential election in Armenia.

    As REGNUM was told at the US embassy press office, the decision was
    stipulated by the fact that the International Republican Institute and
    Baltic Surveys Ltd/Gallup failed to agree on all procedural issues
    after intensive and detailed discussions and to find a solution that
    would suit all parties.

    `We will continue sticking to the idea that exit polls can be a useful
    means regarding raising transparency and confidence in the election.
    Taking into account limited time for organization process and questions
    raised by various political figures, we have made a decision that it
    would have more sense that we do not conduct such poll as there are
    problems in conducting it that can result in negative processes in the
    political dispute,' says a statement of the US embassy.
