In a broad ranging discussion, Hovnanian underscored with the
Ambassador the need for ongoing U.S. support for Armenia and Artsakh,
and focused in particular on the importance of economic development.
Reviewing the positive and deepening U.S.-Armenia relations,

blockade and its failure to live up to its commitment and establish
normal relations with Armenia as envisaged in the Protocols signed
between Armenia and Turkey in October 2009.
Hovnanian and Darbinian also conveyed the importance that Armenia
and the Armenian-American community attach to U.S. affirmation of
the Armenian Genocide.
"I very much appreciate the Ambassador's readiness to work with the
Armenian Assembly and other like-minded organizations, especially his
receptivity for ways in which America can assist Armenia's economic
development," stated Assembly Chairman Hirair Hovnanian. "This is
critically important for the betterment of all Armenians," Hovnanian
