/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If the upcoming elections in 2007 and 2008 are
undemocratic the U.S. can reconsider the Millenium Challenge Compact
with Armenia, Congressman Scott Garrett told reporters in Yerevan. In
his words, transparent and fair elections provide not only for
openness on the election day but also for the election campaign,
the role of media and the work with the NGOs. "However we believe
that Armenia will not abandon democratic path and will properly hold
the parliamentary and presidential election," he remarked.
The Congressman also said that struggle against corruption occupies
a special places in the program.
"Corruption exists everywhere and I think that the level of corruption
in your republic will lower," Garrett said adding that he represents
New Jersey where many Armenians live.
