EU delegation to monitor post-election processing of reports on vote buying in Armenia
The EU Delegation to Armenia will monitor the progress of post-election claims, Mr Piotr Switalski, head of the delegation, told reporters while commenting on his recent visit to the Prosecutor General, AzVision.az reports citing the Armenian Media.
There was a very long and detailed discussion on all reports on irregularities received by prosecutor’s office regarding parliamentary elections on April 2. They analyzed three types of violations: fraud reports on the voting day, violations of general legislation and the Electoral Code, which is not under the immediate jurisdiction of the prosecutor’s office, but also very important.

“We’ve also discussed the reported cases of the use of administrative resources and pressure towards employees of private companies, as well as reports on vote buying”, he said, quoting the earlier statement of the team of European observers.

“We keep contact with the prosecutor and other law enforcement agencies to see how those complaints are processed, and how criminal cases are investigated, especially given that some media reports have drawn a strong public attention”, Switalski said.
