YEREVAN.- Deputy head of Orinats Yerkir Party Mher Shahgeldyan refused to comment on UK Ambassador Katherine Leach’s critical remarks on election campaign.

“Observers are to give assessments,” he said, adding that the party will comment, if necessary, on official statements, not personal opinion of the ambassador.

Armenia has an opportunity to hold election on high level, Shahgeldyan believes. He did not share the opinion that the elections are uncompetitive.

Speaking about presidential candidates, Shahgeldyan said they are holding “an interesting campaign” in accordance with their own strategy.
