Russian observers to monitor referendum in Kyrgyzstan.
BISHKEK, June 10 (Itar-Tass) - Thirty seven representatives of the
Central Electoral Commission (CEC) of Russia will monitor a referendum on
amendments to the Constitution, due to be held in Kyrgyzstan on June 27,
CEC President Vladimir Churov said at a press conference here on Thursday.
According to his information, during the voting Russian observers will
do the monitoring in Bishkek and in the Chuisk, Osh and Issyk-Kul Regions
of Kyrgyzstan. Russia is willing to render technical assistance to
Kyrgyzstan in the holding of the referendum. "The needed methodological
manuals will soon be delivered to Kyrgyzstan. They will help the law
enforcement agencies to maintain law and order on the voting day," Churov
said. He expressed confidence that the turnout would be high in case of
the effective organization of the referendum.
He specially mentioned the fact that central electoral commissions of
the CIS countries always helped each other in organising elections. This
time he managed to reach agreement with Akylbek Sariyev, president of the
Kyrgyz CEC, on the support for the coming elections in Russia on the part
of Kyrgyzstan. "In 2011-2012, during federal elections to the State Duma
and during presidential elections the Kyrgyz authorities will help
organise the voting for Russian nationals staying in Kyrgyzstan," Churov
said.
During the referendum on the constitutional reform in Kyrgyzstan, the
electors are to support or reject the new draft Constitution introducing
the parliamentary form of government in the country. Aside from it, they
will support or reject the decision of the provisional government to
appoint Roza Otunbayeva to the post of president for the transitional
period until December 31, 2011. One answer will be given to two questions.
This form of ballot papers has already been criticized by a number of
human rights and public organizations of Kyrgyzstan, which demanded that
the two questions should be set apart, and that another draft Constitution
- the alternative to the version drafted by the provisional government -
should be put up for the referendum.
