Yerevan, 7 September: US ambassador John Evans has highly assessed
the level of Armenian-US relations, he told Armenian Public TV.
The ambassador's mission in Armenia is coming to an end.
He said that Armenian-US relations were very developed, and the sides
were closely cooperating in the diplomatic and strategic fields, as
well as in the social and economic spheres. "The most important thing
is to ensure balance between these areas," ambassador Evans noted.
He added that Armenia was moving in the right direction, developing
democracy, and there were all prerequisites in these terms for Armenia
to become a leader of democratic processes in the South Caucasus
region. "However, the process of democratization is daily work in
all countries. This is a goal everyone aspires to," the diplomat
noted. He added that the US embassy is developing programmes aimed
at strengthening democracy in Armenia, which envisages the holding
of democratic elections. "Armenia's future is a path of democratic
development," he concluded.
