JAVIER SOLANA COMMENTS ON ARMENIAN ELECTIONS
YEREVAN, MAY 14, ARMENPRESS: Javier Solana, EU High
Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy
(CFSP), today made the following comments concerning
the parliamentary elections in Armenia:
"I congratulate the people of Armenia on the
improvements in the conduct of the parliamentary
elections yesterday, which were conducted largely in
accordance with OSCE and Council of Europe
commitments, and I encourage the Armenian Government
to rapidly address the shortcomings identified by the
international observers.
This is good news for EU-Armenia relations, in
particular as they were the first elections after
Armenia and the EU agreed last year on a wide-reaching
Action Plan.
The Armenian people have demonstrated greater
political maturity through these elections. I am
confident that Armenia and the EU will continue to
develop relations in a spirit of partnership. This
will also be a positive signal to other countries in
the region.
I also congratulate the election observers – in
particular the many EU nationals among them – on
successfully completing their important work."
