The state head recognized that after the presidential election "certain tension" was created in the country, which could not be called "a domestic crisis."

The ambassador expressed an opinion that the next steps should be punishing people, who had committed irregularities, elimination of "omissions" in the Electoral Code of Armenia and irregularities in the course of the parliamentary elections.

The American diplomat emphasized that the US agreed with the OSCE and Council of Europe observers' opinion on the presidential elections in Armenia.

"I have never been and will never be a president with complexes," - Robert Kocharian noted when commenting on the possible pressure by international mediators upon the Armenian leadership in the Karabakh settlement.

In Robert Kocharian's opinion, when evaluating the presidential election in Armenia one should take into account that "independent Armenia is only 12 and it has just taken the path of integration into European structures."

S. Demirchian refused to comment on the opposition further steps regarding the possible appeal to international courts, as "one should await the decision of the Constitutional Court."

In the opinion of human rights organizations of Azerbaijan, Baku authorities operate too fast and run the risks of further aggravation of relations with Armenia.

His message expressed confidence that after Kocharian's victory the development and strengthening of the Armenian-Iranian relations in all spheres will continue "proceeding from the interests of the two nations and the need for peace and stability in the region."

The press secretary of the foreign ministry denied the hearsay that world superpowers backed candidates for the president of Armenia.

Central Electoral Commission announced the final results of the second round of Presidential elections held on March 5, according to which, the incumbent President has gathered 67,5% of the votes, while the other candidate, Stepan Demirchyan – 32,5%. These figures are almost the same announced after the elections.
