/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Strengthening of relations with Armenia and support
of democratic reforms in this republic is dictated by Europe’s
interests, Executive Director of European Foundation for Democracy,
Roberta Bonazzi told a conference on democratic reforms in Yerevan.

"Armenia is a country which succeeded in developing dialogue with
U.S. and Europe, on the one hand, and Iran and Russia, on the other
hand," she said.

"The Foundation supports reforms targeted at formation of an open
society. The purpose of this conference is to promote discussion and
raise public awareness.

Election is an important but not the only constituent of democracy. But
we are confident that legitimacy of an election is conditioned by
demonstration of civic duty," she said, Novosti Armenia reports.
