    PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION IN KYRGYZSTAN WAS FREE AND OPEN

    BISHKEK, February 28 (RIA Novosti) - The parliamentary election, held
    in Kyrgyzstan last Sunday, was legitimate, free and open. This is said
    in the statement by the mission of observers from the Commonwealth of
    Independent States, which the head of the headquarters of the mission
    of observers from the CIS Asan Kozhakov read out to journalists
    on Monday.

    At the same time he pointed out that in the course of the voting the
    observers from the CIS noted a number of violations, which, however,
    could not influence the results of the election. In particular, some
    ballot boxes were sealed with a violation of the established rules,
    the putting of markings on the voters' hands led to dragging out of the
    voting, and problems relating to the rosters of voters emerged. Many
    of the above-said shortcomings were eliminated on the spot.

    The observers from the CIS visited 1,277 polling stations in 71 out
    of the 75 majority constituencies.

    The CIS mission included the official delegations from Azerbaijan,
    Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

    As Mr. Kozhakov explained, Ukraine officially stated that it would not
    appoint its representatives to the CIS mission. So, he rejected the
    accusation, voiced by a representative of the Ukrainian delegation
    at the press conference, that the CIS mission ignores the Ukrainian
    delegation's opinion. "Ukraine carried out monitoring on a bilateral
    basis," Mr. Kozhakov explained.
