АрмИнфо: Глава Ереванского офиса ОБСЕ:

28 December 2012

Ереван, 28.12.12. АрмИнфо.

В Армении есть определенные предпосылки для проведения предстоящих президентских выборов в феврале 2013 года, которые по своему качеству будут на порядок выше майских выборов в Национальное собрание. Такое мнение в беседе с корреспондентом АрмИнфо выразил глава Ереванского офиса ОБСЕ, посол Андрей Сорокин.

"По итогам парламентских выборов представители БДИПЧ/ОБСЕ, участвовавшие в наблюдательской миссии, представили рекомендации по дальнейшему усовершенствованию избирательного процесса. И если не ошибаюсь, этих рекомендаций было 26, из которых 18 были выполнены", - отметил Сорокин. Данное обстоятельство, по словам посла, говорит о том, что руководство страны уделяет серьезное внимание транспарентности этих выборов и идет навстречу международным организациям, заинтересованным в улучшении качества избирательного процесса.

"Исходя из этого, я надеюсь, что предстоящие президентские выборы в плане открытости станут продолжением начатых реформ. Ереванский офис ОБСЕ активно работает и с Полицией, и должен сказать, что она готова к различным внештатным ситуациям, которые могут возникнуть на выборах. Мы также активно работаем со СМИ, проводим различные тренинги для них, серьезное внимание уделяется деятельности омбудсмена, направленной на защиту прав избирателей", - резюмировал Сорокин.

Напомним, президентские выборы в Армении пройдут 18 февраля 2013 года.

LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
