YEREVAN, March 7. /ARKA – “Novosty-Armenia”/. The USA believes in
the democratization process in Armenia, Deputy Assistant of State
for European and Eurasian Affairs Matthew Bryza told reporters.

“Armenia now is in the process of democratization. We believe in
this process, otherwise, we would not propose to include Armenia in
‘Millennium Challenge Account’ program,” he said.

According to him, as any other process, democratization requires
big work.

“Political will of the authorities is necessary to spread this idea
among the people,” Bryza said.

According to him, regular citizens should also take part in building
democracy through civil society and participation in elections.

“Political parties, including oppositional ones, should be active
and constructive,” Bryza said.
