Sargsyan to the Massachusetts State House. Prime Minister Sargsyan's
visit to Massachusetts served as an opportunity to foster
Massachusetts' global image in education and innovation and to

Commonwealth.
Massachusetts is home to approximately 33,095 Armenian-American
residents, with Watertown having the third largest Armenian community
in the nation, according to 2010 data.
This visit was part of a growing economic relationship between
Massachusetts and Armenia. In May, Governor Patrick welcomed a
delegation of Armenian officials to Massachusetts for a ceremonial
opening of the Armenian Heritage Park. Members of the delegation
included Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian, Minister of the Diaspora
Ms. Hranush Hakobyan and Ambassador of the Republic of Armenia to the
US Mr. Tatoul Markarian.
Governor Patrick has prioritized advancing Massachusetts'
relationships around the world in order to compete in the 21st century
global economy. In addition to his meeting with Armenian Prime
Minister Sargsyan, Governor Patrick yesterday met with Hungarian
Ambassador to the United States Gyorgy Szapary to discuss economic
collaboration between Hungary and Massachusetts. He has previously led
delegations of business, academic and government leaders to Chile,
Israel, the United Kingdom, and China to secure new economic
development opportunities for the Commonwealth.
