    Presidential election marked another step forward in Armenia's
    democratic development, UK Minister said

    Yerevan/Mediamax/. UK Minister for Europe David Lidington said that
    "the Presidential Election on 18 February marked another step forward
    in Armenia's democratic development'.


    `The campaign was free and open and voter turn-out on polling day was
    good. I expect that the final result, when confirmed, will reflect the
    choice of the Armenian voters. I welcome the International Election
    Observation Mission's preliminary report which concluded that the
    elections were characterised by a `respect for fundamental freedoms'
    but also noted deficiencies in election administration and instances
    of political interference. I look forward to seeing the Mission's
    final report and encourage the Armenian Government to respond
    constructively to any recommendations it might make. The British
    Government looks forward to working with the Armenian Government to
    promote the economic reforms which will underpin Armenia's efforts to
    forge a stronger relationship with the EU', David Lidington said.
