YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 26, NOYAN TAPAN. The deputy spokesman for the
U.S. Department of State Tom Casey expressed an opinion that the
arguments that followed the presidential elections in Armenia should
be settled within the framework of the country’s Constitution and
political system.

Radio Liberty reported that while commenting on the post-election
situation in Armenia – at the request of a reporter during the
briefing held the day before, Tom Casey said that in his opinion,
those present are probably familiar with the statement which was
published at the end of last week, and he has nothing to add to
that at the moment. Addressing the briefing participants, he said
that they are certainly informed about some concerns expressed by
international observers in connection with the elections but "we
think that these arguments should be settled within the framework of
Armenia’s Constitution and political system".
