YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. "The long but necessary path of
democracy has today brought us to a stage of electoral system which
gives an opportunity to hold free and fair elections. However, this
does not mean that we have a perfect electoral system. There are many
problems here and we need to constantly improve our electoral system,"
RA President Serzh Sargsyan said at the meeting with the delegation
of the Association of European Election Officials (ACEEEO) attaching
importance to the cooperation with international organizations in
that issue.
According to the RA President's Press Office, among reasons causing
problems Serzh Sargsyan stressed the lack of electoral culture which
is common to all the post-Soviet countries. According to him, in
order to overcome those problems all the systems which are part of
the electoral processes should become fully-established.
The representatives of the Association noted that the improvement of
the electoral system of Armenia is obvious. They expressed willingness
to continue their support in the further development of the processes
of democracy and improvement of the electoral system.
