The United States and the European Union have praised the Armenian authorities' handling of Monday's presidential election, citing the generally positive findings of international vote monitors.
The EU's foreign and security policy chief, Catherine Ashton, and commissioner for enlargement, Stefan Fuele, were especially encouraged by the election conduct, calling it a step forward.
"We welcome further progress made by the Armenian authorities in their efforts to hold these presidential elections in line with international standards, notably through improved administration of the electoral process, ensuring possibilities for candidates to campaign freely and better quality of the voter lists," they said in a joint statement on Wednesday.
