US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryza said in an
interview with Mediamax that "the forthcoming elections are an
important point for Armenia on the way o democratization, since they
provide the opportunity to sum up the achievements in the field of
political freedoms and civil rights.
"There is always room for improvement, and we hope that the government
will use the opportunity and will hold the freest and fairest elections
in Armenia’s history. Among other things, it means the guarantee
of existence of free press without censorship. We think that the
Armenian government understands its interest in holding free and
fair elections and welcome the decision to invite OSCE observers,"
the American diplomat said.
