The delegation of the Armenian government, which participated in

and Economy Vardan Khachatryan, the U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John
Evans, the Armenian Ambassador to the United States Tatul Margaryan,
Assistant Secretary Daniel Fried and the OSCE Co-Chair Stephen Mann.

On March 31 in Yerevan the minister of finance and economy Vardan
Khachatryan told details of the meeting. In fact, there were no
details, says Vardan Khachatryan, unlike other sources that gave
information on the meeting. The Armenian officials and Foreign
Minister Vardan Oskanyan reported on the activities and steps directed
at holding fair, free and transparent elections, spoke about the
conflict over Karabakh and the U.S.-Armenian partnership. Vardan
Khachatryan informs that all this lasted for15-20 minutes, and the
Armenian officials did not make commitments. It is possible that they
simply did not manage.
