INTL OBSERVERS' PRESS CONFERENCE IN YEREVAN BROUGHT TO HALT BY HISSES AND SHOUTS
Interfax, Russia
Feb 19 2013
Armenian opposition activists have derailed a press conference by
international election monitors from the Organization for Security
and Cooperation in Europe' Office for Democratic Institutions and
Human Rights.
As the international observers were presenting a report, young men
broke into the audience and demanded that they leave Armenia and stop
interfering in Armenia's internal affairs.
The press conference was cut short and the speakers had to leave to
the audience's shouts and hisses.
No policemen can be seen in the audience, an Interfax correspondent
reported.
The head of the OSCE/ODIHR's election observation mission, Heidi
Tagliavini, said before the opposition activists appeared in the
audience that abuses had been uncovered, but they could not influence
the outcome of the elections.
The mission is to release its final report in a two months' time.
