Европейский наблюдатель “впечатлен” высокой явкой избирателей на парламентских выборах в Армении

Руководитель делегации ПАСЕ, баронесса Эмма Николсон, выступая на пресс-конференции в Ереване, заявила, что впечатлена высокой явкой избирателей на парламентских выборах в Армении 6 мая.

“Мы заметили, что в выборах участвовали люди разных возрастов, явка же превышала более 60%, что очень впечатляюще», - заявил парламентарий. Она указала на то, что представители политических партий порой брали на себя функции членов комиссии на избирательных участках, в некоторых случаях мешая избирателям. “Власти должны обратить внимание на эту проблему, и хорошо было бы устранить эту проблему к предстоящим в 2013 году президентским выборам», - отметила баронесса.
