Armenian authorities have undertaken serious steps for holding democratic parliamentarian elections, OSCE/ODIHR mission head Boris Frlec stated to journalists in Yerevan. He said, currently the main task for the Armenian authorities is to restore trust of people, which was shaken during previous elections. "Our mission is not over yet, we shall report to OSCE and the final report will be produced there. But I underline, generally the May 12 parliamentarian elections of 2007 met international standards. Among top-priority are regulating of ballot count system and timely publication of latest results on the web-site. We observed some violations, but they have not influenced on the final results," Frlec underscored.
