YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia is on the right way and
its future is democracy, John Evans, the U.S. Ambassador Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary who finished his mission to Armenia, mentioned in
the interview to the Public Television. In the Ambassador’s words,
Armenia has all the main preconditions for becoming the leading
democratic state of the region, but there is no progress without
retreats. John Evans believed that creation and re-creation of
democracy is everyday work for all countries. And for this reason,
in the Ambassador’s words, the U.S. envisages programs which will
help Armenia to strengthen its democracy. The American diplomate also
explained that democracy is not only free and just elections, though
it’s one of the main elements: democracy is supremacy of the law as
well, independence of the judicial system, power and activity of press.
