PanARMENIAN.Net - Absolutely "sterile elections" are never held in any country, always occur some technical problems, chief-coordinator of CIS observation mission, Sec. Gen. of CIS Executive Committee Vladimir Rushaylo stated in Yerevan April 5. "Our task is to find out shortcoming if they exist and clarify if they are of systematic character and if they could influence on the outcome of elections. I have participated in 16-17 observation missions in CIS countries, and we used to find out shortcomings, but they were not of systematic character and could not influence on the final results of elections," Vladimir Rushaylo noted.



He also said the final statement for elections will be prepared basing on forms of observers, and the next day after summing up the results of voting the mission will voice its statement, "besides, a Council of Coordinators will be formed, which will include representatives from CIS and representatives of CIS Central Electoral Commissions". "There is an opinion that we are already preparing a draft statement, and I can assure that we do not do anything beforehand, we cannot do such a thing, since the mission includes parliamentarians of different levels from CIS countries and it is impossible to command them," the head of observation mission stated. V. Rushaylo underlined the mission does not state its preferences for this or that candidature. "We only state correspondence of elections to the Electoral law of the country where elections are being held," the Sec. Gen. of CIS Executive Committee stressed, IA Regnum reports.
