    Yerevan /Mediamax/. EU Commissioner for External Relations and European
    Neighborhood Policy Benita Ferrero-Waldner stated that she commends the
    people of Armenia and its leaders on the fact that these elections were
    conducted mostly in line with the country's international commitments.

    "As the OSCE Election Observation Mission stated in its preliminary
    statement further improvements will be necessary to address remaining
    challenges, in particular strengthening of public confidence in the
    electoral process", the statement of Benita Ferrero-Waldner reads.

    "At the same time it is important to note that considerable progress
    has been achieved with regard to the preparation and conduct of the
    electoral process since the last Presidential elections in 2003 thanks
    to reforms undertake", European Commissioner stated.

    She added that "support for these reforms is a key priority of the
    EU/Armenia Action Plan under the European Neighborhood Policy".

    "The European Commission will continue to assist Armenia on its
    path to political and economic reforms. The recent strengthening
    of the Commission presence in Yerevan through the opening of an
    EC Delegation is a clear sign of our ongoing commitment", Benita
    Ferrero-Waldner stated.

    Benita Ferrero-Waldner expressed confidence that "new President of
    Armenia, together with the new government, will continue firmly on
    the path of reform, which is vital for the Armenian people as well
    as for the future of our relationship".
