The United States and Armenia have many connections and relationships
that span politics and go into family and so much else that is very
important to us, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in
her remarks with Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian before
their meeting.
“And we have many, many important issues ahead of us, and I look
forward to continuing the important conversation that we’ve been
carrying out,” she said.
Minister Nalbandian noted, in turn: “The frequency of our meetings
proves our commitment to deepen and to strengthen Armenian-American
relations. Due to our joint efforts, we elevated our relationship to
a qualitatively new level during the last years, and I would like
to thank you very much, Madam Secretary, for your contribution,
for your efforts, for your engagement. I am sure that this meeting
will be another occasion to enhance our friendly partnership between
United States and Armenia.”
According to the press office of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, during
the meeting, Nalbandian and Clinton referred to Armenian-American
relations, economic cooperation, reform process in Armenia and regional
issues. They also exchanged views on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict,
stressing that settlement is possible through peaceful means only.
