YEREVAN, APRIL 18, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has held a meeting with U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Erika Olson.

The Armenian Prime Minister “attached importance to the consistent development of close cooperation with the United States and the continuous advancement of the Armenian-American Strategic Dialogue agenda,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a readout.

PM Nikol Pashinyan highly appreciated the United States government’s support to the implementation of democratic reforms in Armenia and added that the implementation of this agenda is a strategy and priority for the Armenian government.

At the same time, PM Pashinyan attached importance to the United States’ efforts for establishing stability and peace in the region.

In turn, Olson said that the United States will continue effective cooperation in the direction of the effective implementation of democratic reforms in Armenia and stated that the United States government attaches high importance to the continuous development of relations with Armenia, including in the economy.

Pashinyan and Olson also discussed issues relating to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the development of an international mechanism for dialogue between Stepanakert and Baku, the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno Karabakh resulting from the illegal blockade of the Lachin Corridor by Azerbaijan, the normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan and unblocking of regional transport infrastructures.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
