ArmInfo. By the order of the Prosecutor General of Armenia Artur Davtyan, a working group has been formed in the body of the Prosecutor's Office, which will ensure the rule of law during the upcoming June 20 extraordinary elections to the National Assembly of  the country.

Considering the need to conduct the entire electoral process without  criminal offenses, in accordance with democratic principles, the RA  Prosecutor General will head the working group. The group includes  the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Republic of Armenia, as well as  heads of structural divisions of the Prosecutor's Office and  employees of the Prosecutor's Office, whose functions are related to  criminal proceedings, collection and processing of information on  possible crimes during the electoral process.

According to the press service of the department, the working group  will also monitor publications in the media on the preparation and  conduct of early elections. "In order to increase the efficiency of  prosecutorial supervision, the working group will conduct extensive  monitoring of coverage of the electoral process in the media, other  information and Internet resources in order to detect violations of  the law and assist in the preparation of materials in order to  organize preliminary investigations to initiate criminal cases.

To ensure the efficiency of work, a hotline will be opened in the RA  General Prosecutor's Office in the near future to quickly and  efficiently respond to alarms. As part of the fight against electoral  crimes, the working group will closely cooperate with the Central  Election Commission of the Republic of Armenia, local and  international organizations carrying out observation missions, other  law enforcement agencies and the media covering the elections.
