He adds that in Armenia "international experts and election observers have often had their work cut out in getting the authorities to follow through on promises made" and that "one of the most needed of the forthcoming reforms, as well as one of the most difficult to implement, is the consolidation of local authorities and clarification of how they are funded".
Samuti märkis ta, et „reformidest üks hädavalikumaid ja samas üks kõige raskemini läbiviidavaid on kohalike omavalitsuste konsolideerimine ja nende finantseerimise täpsustamine”.
