Armenian President Robert Kocharyan has congratulated George Bush on
his re-election as US president.

The Armenian presidential press service has told Arminfo news agency
that the Armenian president said he hoped that with George Bush having
been re-elected, Armenian-US relations would strengthen further in the
next four years. Kocharyan stressed that Bush’s adherence to the
innovative Millennium Challenge Account and Armenia’s participation in
it created considerable opportunities for the country’s economic and
social development.

“The country’s people highly appreciate the USA’s continuous
assistance to Armenia,” the message says.

Kocharyan stressed that the USA’s active involvement in the peaceful
settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict was major part of
relations between the two nations. The Armenian president said he
hoped that significant progress would be reached in this issue during
Bush’s second term as president.
