U.S. State Department: Armenian Election Respected Fundamental Freedoms

11:27, February 20, 2013

What follows is the passage of the February 19 U.S. State Department Press Briefing delivered by Victoria Nuland regarding the presidential election in Armenia.

QUESTION: Any updates on Armenia's presidential elections? That's my question.

MS. NULAND: On Armenia?

QUESTION: Armenia held presidential elections. Thank you.

MS. NULAND: Yeah. According to the preliminary results from the Central Election Commission, incumbent President Sargsian has won these elections by 58.64 percent. We support the conclusions of the OSCE ODIHR observer mission in their preliminary conclusions that the elections were generally well administered and characterized by a respect for fundamental freedoms, including those of assembly and expression.
