EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby today
congratulated Serzh Sargsyan on assuming the office of the President
of Armenia, noting that all this takes place in a very important
period and is connected with a number of challenges.

Peter Semenby told reporters that within the bounds of its capacity
the European Union will help to overcome these challenges, primarily
eliminate the consequences of the events of March 1.

According to him, some steps have already been taken in this direction.

However, it is necessary to establish dialogue and fully restore the
right for freedom of assembly.

"It’s important for the dialogue to continue not only between
mediators, but also the main role players in Armenian politics. Today
is a very important day in the history of Armenia, and I expect
that positive developments will be observed in the coming days,"
Peter Semneby said.
