If there is a significant violation in the election process, it will come out, but not necessarily the way the opposition expects, said Piotr Wach, member of the Polish Senate, who arrived in Armenia as a member of PACE monitoring delegation.

International observers cause a shock at polling stations, but sitting peacefully in a corner may see a lot, he said at a press conference in Yerevan.

The delegation will observe the parliamentary elections in Armenia scheduled on May 6.

"Usually we stay at the station more than half an hour and less than an hour, that is the rule. When the poll crew sees an international observer, they try to overact. But if you seat peacefully in the corner, they get accustomed to you and life at the polling station comes to normal. Then you can see a lot," he said. PACE observers at the polling stations will feed an integrated database with real-time reporting, he added.

He reminded that during the elections Armenia will host a significant presence of international observers and more than 16,000 local observers from each political party.

"I wonder if there is going to be any room for electors at all," he said as a joke.

The members of the delegation arrive with open minds to understand the environment in which they are going to perform their monitoring mission and draft an evaluation.

"If there is a significant violation, it will come out. This may be not necessarily in the way the opposition expects. However, it will come out in some way, as it will be inevitably noticed by someone," he added.

He told that the evaluating criteria for the election processes are very close among the observing groups, especially between those of the EU and the Council of Europe, limiting the differences in the reports to personal observations.
