U.S. Embassy expressed its readiness to promote democratic reform  agenda in Armenia

ArmInfo.The U.S. Embassy in Armenia together with USAID- Armenia intend to continue contributing to the agenda of democratic reforms of the Armenian government.

"The U.S. Embassy in Yerevan is pleased to see that Armenia continues  to make impressive progress on its path to a democratic society,  achieving the largest two-year improvement of any country in the  history of Freedom House's Nations in Transit Democracy Score. Along  with USAID Armenia we are committed to supporting the reforms needed  to move Armenia forward in its path to democracy and rule of law."  the U.S. Embassy wrote on Facebook. 

It should be noted that on May 6, Freedom House published a report  entitled "Nations in Transit 2020: Dropping the Democratic Facade",  where the democracy index of  Armenia is 3 units.  Moreover, Armenia  is in the category of semi- consolidated authoritarian states.   Together with Armenia, Georgia (3.25 units), Moldova (3.11 units) and  Ukraine (3.39 units) are among the transitional regimes.

The document notes that: < Despite their leaders' choices, citizens'  yearning for democracy remains strong. Major transformations driven  by public demands for better governance have been under way in  Armenia and Ukraine, with the former earning the largest two- year  improvement ever recorded in Nations in Transit. Armenian prime  minister Nikol Pashinyan and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy  will now face the difficult challenge of managing expectations,  maintaining trust, and restructuring corrupt systems without  contravening democratic norms>.
