The USA Aims to Strengthen Support for Armenia: Blinken

The United States is reviewing a "number of requests" from Armenia to determine what steps Washington can take to support Yerevan. This was stated by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

“We are reviewing a number of requests from Armenia to identify what more we can do to strengthen our support and cooperation with Armenia,” Blinken said during hearings before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, without delving into specifics.

At the same time, Blinken recalled that earlier in April, he had a joint meeting in Brussels with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. According to the head of the foreign policy agency, these consultations were specifically aimed at figuring out what more the U.S. and the EU could do to support Armenia.

Blinken promised, “And we will advance in a number of different areas.” The Secretary of State also expressed hope that Azerbaijan and Armenia would sign a peace treaty.
