Ukraine's Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Kuchta today said the attention of the entire world is focused on Ukraine. Talking to reporters in Yerevan on Wednesday, Mr  Kuchta that during the October 26 parliamentary elections in Ukraine most of his countrymen ‘voted for’ the European Union, and results of the Sunday vote were recognized by many prestigious organizations, including the OSCE, PACE and European Parliament. Ivan Kukhta emphasized that the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also made an announcement saying that Russia might recognise the results of the Ukraine vote. “Though the election was not held throughout the country [Crimea and certain regions of Donetsk and Luhansk did not participate in the Sunday vote], the Central Election Commission announced that the elections were held in compliance with Ukrainian legislation, and they are legitimate,” he said. He added that Maidan led to the creation of a new government and eventually to the birth of democracy.
