of relations with Armenia," the US ambassador to Armenia, John Evans,
said during the opening ceremony of the embassy's new building in
Yerevan today.
Evans said that Armenia has made significant progress in implementing
political and economic reforms over the last 13 years, Mediamax

fight against international terrorism, as well as its contribution
to the reconstruction of Iraq," the US ambassador said.
