UN Spokesperson does not comment on the political decision to hold elections in Armenia
Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General of the United Nations, has commented the question relating to the snap parliamentary elections in Armenia scheduled for June 20, Armenpress news agency reports.
Asked whether the elections would help to ease the tensions in the country and are they going to send the monitoring mission by UN to Armenia, Stéphane Dujarric said: “I’m not aware that we’ve been requested. You know, we sent election… I mean, we don’t send observers, but obviously, we support Member States if we’re requested to do so by the authorities. I have no comment on the political decision to hold elections. We’re always for elections where people can express themselves freely as to their future”.
