U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry congratulated President Serzh Sarkisian on Monday on his victory in a disputed presidential election, saying that the United States expects to deepen ties with Armenia during his second term.
"I agree with the OSCE/ODIHR preliminary findings that the elections were generally well-administered and characterized by a respect for fundamental freedoms, but there is work that remains to be done," Kerry wrote in a letter released by Sarkisian's press service. "Moving forward, I hope Armenia will continue to increase transparency, promote multiple viewpoints in the mainstream media, and encourage citizens' active participation in reforms and governance, as well as address the outstanding electoral issues raised by the OSCE."
