    The Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of
    Europe welcomes the first elections for the Yerevan City Council and
    expresses its satisfaction with the electoral processes. At today's
    press conference the Congress delegation presented its preliminary
    assessment, noting that the elections were organized in line with
    European standards.

    "Armenia managed to contribute to the implementation of local democracy
    on its own. The overall organization of the elections corresponded to
    European standards. In this respect the monitoring mission registered
    considerable progress as compared to local self-government elections
    held in Yerevan in September 2008," head of the delegation Nigel
    Mermagen declared.

    Observers of the Congress noted also that there were certain
    shortcomings during the voting, but they could not have affected the
    legitimacy of the elections. However, these will be included in the
    final report of the organization.
