OSCE to issue final report on RA presidential election in mid-April
Armenia should find a way out of the situation via political dialogue and in the framework of the law, OSCE CiO, Finnish Foreign Minister Ilkka Kanerva said in Yerevan at a joint news conference with RA FM Vartan Oskanian.
"This is the only way that will bring to stability in the country. I understand that the post-election situation is very complicated. The outcomes have been announced; the opposition has launched protest actions. The OSCE/ODIHR preliminary report points out to the shortcoming that should be addressed. The final report will be issued in mid-April. Armenia needs time to become a true democratic state. But I would like to emphasize that the OSCE will not build its report on opinion of any side, either the authorities or opposition," Mr Kanerva said.
Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian remarked that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and the Armenian-Turkish relations were also discussed during the talks, which were described as constructive and useful.
