    Parliamentary elections have exclusive meaning for Armenia's future
    10.03.2007 14:07 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Earlier NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan accepted the
    delegation at the head of John Huko, the Vice-President on operational
    issues of the `Millenium Challenges' Corporation, the RA NA Press
    Office reports. John Huko is in Armenia for the first time. The goal
    of his visit is first of all, to acquaint with the realization process
    of `Millenium Challenges' Corporation programs and those responsible
    for it, and then - to hold direct and open conversation with Armenian
    friends around the upcoming parliamentary elections. The
    Vice-President of the American Corporation highly appreciated the
    realized works, underlining that Armenia can be proud of program in
    action and officials responsible for it. `Millenium Challenges'
    program is not only a way to strengthen Armenian-American relations,
    but also it is a chance to cut poverty and increase income in
    Armenia. John Huko noted that `Millenium Challenges' Corporation works
    only with democratic countries; it uses 11 indexes for the level of
    democracy, which are single for all 25 states included in the
    framework of `Millenium Challenges'. The sides stressed the importance
    of conducting the upcoming parliamentary elections in accordance with
    democratic standards. Otherwise of `Millenium Challenges' programs
    will be put under question in Armenia. He expressed hope that
    parliamentary election in May will fix positive steps considered with
    elections in the past, providing succession of the program.

    Tigran Torosyan stressed the importance to realize programs of
    `Millenium Challenges'. He also thanked for its creation and first
    steps in realization process. Torosyan underlined the importance to
    hold parliamentary elections properly, first of all for the sake of
    Armenia's future and development of reforms. The RA NA Speaker also
    noted that conducting elections in accordance with democratic norms is
    so important, that the continuation of `Millenium Challenges' program
    is incomparable near it and cannot be viewed as a stimulus for
    Armenia. Of course, he said, democracy in Armenia has not reached its
    perfection, but tendentious estimations, which turn everything upside
    down, are not acceptable.

    Touching upon the parliamentary elections, T. Torosyan stressed that
    they really have exclusive importance for Armenia's future and
    continuation of reforms: also after elections provisions concerning
    political system in the result of constitutional reforms will be put
    in force.
