    U.S. EXPECTS UPCOMING ARMENIAN ELECTIONS TO BE FREE, FAIR

    NewsBlaze, CA
    April 4 2006

    The United States expects Armenia's parliamentary and presidential
    elections in 2007 and 2008 to meet international standards for free
    and fair elections, the State Department's Daniel Fried said in a
    speech in Washington March 27.

    Fried, the assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian
    affairs, said the Bush administration views the elections as "key
    tests" of whether Armenia is meeting its commitments under the terms
    of the Millennium Challenge Compact it signed March 27.

    A Millennium Challenge Compact is a bilateral aid agreement with the
    United States that involves a commitment on the part of the recipient
    country to encourage economic freedom, rule justly and invest in
    its people.
