The Foreign Minister of the Republic of Artsakh, Masis Mayilyan, met with U.S. Congressman Frank Pallone on October 1. The Foreign Minister praised Congressman Pallone's consistent efforts and initiatives aimed at promoting the interests of Artsakh in the U.S. Congress, as well as establishing and strengthening stability in the region.

During the meeting, various levels of relations between Artsakh and the United States and their development prospects were discussed.

At Congressman Pallone's request, Masis Mayilyan presented the current phase of the negotiations regarding the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the situation along the line of contact between the armed forces of Artsakh and Azerbaijan.
