“I do not anticipate significant changes in US-Armenian relationships”,- in the interview with journalists said US ambassador to Armenia Richard Mills.
Referring to new US administration and the changes that may occur in US-Armenian relations he noted: “Of course the new president will want to set out his own policy. He will have new advisers who will look at Armenia will look at this region with a new fresh set of eyes. But for 25 years it has been the goal of every US president whether they were Republican or Democrat work to ensure that Armenia is prosperous, democratic and at peace with its neighbors.
And that goal for our relationship with Armenia prosperous, free, peaceful Armenia secure with his neighbors, I don’t think that will change. Our priorities will remain helping the trade and investment between the two countries, strengthen the democratic institutions and of course, the most important thing I think for Armenia’s future, helping to work within the Minsk group to find a peaceful, negotiated solution to the problem, issue of Nagorno Karabakh’s future. It will be my job; it will be US embassy’s job to make sure that the new administration hears from us about why the relationship with Armenia is important and why we need to continue a strong relationship. And the embassy will be doing that over the next weeks and months”.
