Washington prepared to cooperate with Sargsyan despite concerns over
situation in Armenia
YEREVAN March 28
Washington is prepared to cooperate with Armenian president-elect
Serzh Sargsyan and assist to the democratic development of the
country, U.S. charge d'affaires to Armenia Josef Pennington told a
press conference in Yerevan.
The U.S. is puzzled by the political processes occurring in Armenia
in recent months and has notified the Armenian leaders of its
concerns, he said
There are obvious negative trends that must be opposed, he said.
However, all the reassurances and statements that we hear from the
president-elect are giving us hope, Pennington said.
Washington is not going to impact the internal political processes in
Armenia, he said.
They are the country's domestic problems and should be dealt within
the country through democratic transformation, the U.S. diplomat
said.
