Armenia has formally asked the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to monitor its upcoming parliamentary elections, the head of the OSCE office in Yerevan, Andrey Sorokin, said on Thursday.
Sorokin said a letter of invitation signed by Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian has been sent to the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR).
In anticipation of such an invitation, two ODIHR officials visited Yerevan last month on a "needs assessment mission." They met with senior government officials, political party leaders and civic campaigners to discuss preparations for the May 6 vote and practical modalities of its observation by the OSCE.
