The Armenian Foreign Ministry's position on the formation and handover
of power to the interim Iraqi government remains unchanged - Armenia
welcomes these processes, a spokesman for the Armenian Foreign
Ministry, Gamlet Gasparyan, told our Arminfo correspondent, commenting
on the handover of power in Iraq to the interim government on 30
June. The Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman also confirmed the
permanence of Armenia's position on the reconstruction of Iraq.

To recap, the Armenian Foreign Ministry had earlier made a statement
which welcomed the formation of a government in Iraq. "We hope that
the new Iraqi government will succeed in creating conditions that will
promote the implementation of democratic reforms and will ensure free
and fair elections in January 2005," the Armenian Foreign Ministry
spokesman said.

Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Ruben Shugaryan had earlier announced
that Armenia is ready to take an active part in the postwar
reconstruction of Iraq.
