Yerevan, May 15. /Mediamax/. U.S. Department of State Deputy Spokesman
Tom Casey said that "we do congratulate the Armenian people on their
parliamentary elections and share with the international observers
who were present the view that the election infrastructure has been
greatly improved and that this is a step in the right direction
towards meeting international standards".
Tom Casey said this adressing a briefing in Washington D.C., Mediamax
reports.
"We do hope, however, that the Government of Armenia will aggressively
investigate allegations that are there of electoral wrongdoing
and prosecute people in accordance with Armenian law. So all and
all, I think this is an improvement over past elections; though
certainly if you look at what the observers said, it did not fully
meet international standards", U.S. Department of State Deputy
Spokesman said.
"There's still some ways to go before you would have an election that
fully meets all the international standards", he noted.
