Yerevan /Mediamax/. U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew
Bryza said in an interview to Mediamax today: "our statement does
not mean we are questioning the outcome of Armenia’s election".
Matthew Bryza said this commenting on Mediamax’s request the statement
by U.S. State Department representative Edgar Vazquez, who said the
United States of America are concerned over reports of problems in
the vote count in the presidential elections in Armenia, which took
place on February 19.
"Our statement does not mean we are questioning the outcome of
Armenia’s election. But, nor are we yet in a position to declare all
the concerns about irregularities have been fully addressed. That will
take a little bit of time, as was the case with Georgia’s January 5
presidential election. We have seen the statements by ODIHR and Javier
Solana, and share those assessments", – Matthew Bryza told Mediamax.
