\"\"\u201cLong-term electoral assistance to the election related stakeholders of Armenia\u201d project was officially launched today. The project is implemented for countries of EU Eastern Partnership countries in 2015-2017.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

At the event marking the project\u2019s launch, Head of the Council of Europe Office in Yerevan Natalia Vutova said the project aims to strengthen the capacities of the main stakeholders, raise society\u2019s awareness, and ensure an exchange of best experience on electoral issues among Eastern Partnership states.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe program aims to encourage participation of more voters in elections. We pay attention to that component. According to data of Statistical service, there are 18-24 thousand young voters in Armenia who make up about 15% of 340 thousand voters. This year there will be 40 thousand new voters, that is, their number will exceed 70 thousand in 2017. The program\u2019s purpose to encourage their active participation in elections,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vutova also spoke about another important problem: women\u2019s involvement in state positions. Women in Armenia make up 54% of the voters.\u00a0 Of the 18 Armenian ministers, three are female. Ten of the 65 members of Yerevan city council are women, and there are no women among ten regional governors of Armenia.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe second aim of the project is to promote women\u2019s participation in elections as voters and candidates,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She stressed the importance of civil society in free and fair elections. \u201cAuthorities should cooperate with civil society, and they should view each other as partners, not enemies. The program aims to promote that cooperation\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
