Armenia-US
Armenian ambassador to Washington, Tatoul Margarian, handed his
credentials to US President George W. Bush on May 26. According to
a press release by the RA Foreign Ministry, President Bush highly
evaluated good-neighborly relations with Armenia and noted that the two
states are connected with a unique history. “Since Armenian Republic’s
independence in 1991, together we have been working towards creation
of democratic institutions and stable economy in order to rebuild
Armenia and eliminate results of devastating earthquake in 1988,
collapse of the USSR and the war with neighboring Azerbaijan over
Nagorno Karabakh”, the message by US President reads. Bush praised
Armenia for its help in struggle against international terrorism
and for Armenian detachment in Iraq supporting establishment of a
democratic state.
