“I am joined by a very large team of observers today. Over 200 short-term observers from the OSCE states are with us. A total of 70 parliamentarians from the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, from the Council of Europe’s Parliamentary Assembly and also from the European Parliament have come to Armenia. They are deployed all over the country,” she said.

According to her, from the opening of the polling stations on Sunday, each team will be observing around twelve-thirteen polling stations and then will be at the polling stations this evening where they will stay with the elections commission watching the counting.

There are also additional teams and they will take over in the evening and work with all the election materials: with the ballot boxes, with the ballot papers, and all the unused materials, Ambassador added.

“They will go to the territorial elections committee to watch how these figures are entered in to the central computers and whether this proceeds according to the rules and the international standards,” the head of the mission said adding that “around 30-35 people have been with us since the middle of November as the elections are much more than one day.”
