    U.S. positive about Armenia's election
    14.05.2007 14:56 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ `We welcomed the Armenian parliamentary elections
    and congratulate the Armenian people on a more successful poll than
    previous elections. We share the satisfaction of international
    observers that the election infrastructure, both legal and technical,
    has been greatly improved. We are proud that our partnership with
    government and non-government structures in Armenia has supported
    these improvements,' says a statement issued by the U.S. Embassy in
    Armenia on May 12 parliamentary election.

    `We value highly the work of the many election officials who were
    dedicated to completing their work with integrity.

    We note ODIHR Ambassador Frlec's comment that this election is not
    over.

    Our judgment so far is that this election was an improvement toward
    international standards.

    Part of the election process is a careful consideration of all issues
    raised in connection with the election, including several serious
    allegations of fraud or intimidation which may have affected the
    outcome of some of the races.

    We hope for aggressive investigation of allegations of electoral
    wrongdoing and subsequent prosecutions, should they be warranted,' the
    statement says.
