EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT WANTS TO HELP DEMOCRACY IN ARMENIA
- “The European Parliament wants to help Armenia to become a more democratic state. Armenia is close to the European Union and we were pleasantly surprised by the high appearance of voters, said Marie Anne Isler Beguin, Head of the European Parliament delegation. "Compared to the previous presidential elections, significant progress was noted with regard to the preparation and conduct of the electoral process. However, the whole electoral environment and reported interferences still have to be carefully assessed. The EU will continue to support the reinforcement of democracy in Armenia via its Neighborhood Policy," she said. “The ENP aims to resolve problems with Azerbaijan and to promote establishment of normal relations with Turkey,” she said.
