US Charge d'Affaires Anthony Godfrey issued a New Year Message,
which says, in particular, "On this first day of the New Year, I
would like to thank the people of Armenia for continuing to support
the strong friendship and close cooperation that exists between
our two countries. This has been an important year for US - Armenian
relations. Through US assistance programs, which have totaled over 1.6
billion dollars since 1992, the United States is working to strengthen
democratic institutions, provide for a more stable and secure South
Caucasus, and build the economies of all three countries of the region.
As we look forward to 2007, it is my hope that Armenia and the United
States can work together to create a brighter future for the people
of Armenia.
2007 will be particularly significant, and my government is committed
to supporting Armenia as it works to establish itself as a thriving
democracy and a country where the benefits of economic growth are
shared broadly. The coming year will be especially important and
exciting since Armenia has the opportunity to display its commitment
to democracy by holding free and fair parliamentary elections.
As we look forward to 2007, I would like to express my admiration
for the Armenian people and thank you for the warm welcome you have
continued to show my family and me during our stay in your country. The
American people, the Embassy staff and I wish you a Merry Christmas,
a Happy New Year, and all the best in 2007."
