YEREVAN, JULY 3, ARMENPRESS: On July 4, the United States of America
celebrate the 231st anniversary of its independence and the signing
of the Declaration of Independence on that day in 1776.
On July 3, Americans and Armenians jointly marked the day at a
celebration at the U.S. Embassy in Armenia. During the event,
U.S. Charge d’Affaires Anthony Godfrey stated, "Two hundred and
thirty one years ago, our founding fathers declared that our basic
rights are granted not by the state, not by a king or president,
but by our Creator."
He added that "U.S. – Armenia relations are strong.
We share a vision for our families of a world without fear of terror,
where our children can grow strong and free."
He also took note of the strong Armenian-American community in the
United States and their contribution in helping to make America great
and in strengthening the bonds between the two countries.
