"We urge the Electoral Commission and the Armenian government to carry out transparent investigations of all credible reports of irregularities," Piotr Switalski, the head of the EU Delegation in Yerevan, noted in written comments to RFE/RL’s Armenian service.
"We encourage the authorities to fully investigate fraud allegations, for the referendum process to be credible," the ambassador said
At the same time Switalski stated that the EU "took note" of the official referendum results.
"It is now important to implement the new constitution, in particular the human rights chapter, the new checks and balances and minority rights for the opposition, so that it does not just remain on paper," he added.
