A delegation from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization 
for Security and Cooperation in Europe was in Turkmenistan for the 
presidential election. The group was there as unofficial observers, 
but one deputy among the group, Jose Soares from Portugal, said on 
election day that the elections "were absolutely not free and 
fair."
