Is improvement of electoral system evident?
Serzh Sargsyan today received a delegation of the Electoral Authorities of Europe, currently in Yerevan for the 18th annual conference of the organization.
Serzh Sargsyan welcomed members of the delegation, noting that the conduct of the event in Yerevan is a good occasion for discussion of issues of the electoral field and exchange of positive electoral experience.
"The long, but necessary way towards democracy has brought us to a level of development of the electoral system, which enables us to hold free and fair elections. This does not mean, however, that we have an ideal electoral system. There are a lot of problems here, and the electoral system needs to be improved," Serzh Sargsyan said, attaching great importance to the cooperation with international organizations.
Among the problems President Sargsyan pointed out the lack of electoral culture peculiar to post-Soviet countries.
Representatives of the Electoral Authorities of Europe noted that the improvement of the electoral system of Armenia is evident and expressed willingness to continue supporting the process of further development of democracy and the electoral system.
