U.S. Ambassador to Armenia issued a statement on the occasion of 20th
anniversary of partnership relations between Armenia and U.S.
In his statement Heffern stressed that relations between Armenia and
U.S. are strong and getting stronger.
"Our high level dialogue has never been closer, including at the
level of President Sargsyan and President Obama," he said pointing
out the 2010 visit of Secretary of State Hilary Clinton.
"In 2011 we kept up the pace of high level visitors, our visitors
routinely meet with government officials, parliamentarians from
the majority parties and the opposition parties, business people,
journalists and civil society," he added.
He described the relations between two countries as "deep and broad"
recalling that over 3,500 Armenians had visited the U.S. as part of
exchange programs.
"Our development assistance and cooperation over the years amount to
more than 2 billion dollars. Over 800 Americans have come to Armenia
as Peace Corpse volunteers and worked with Armenian partners in every
marz of the country. U.S. and Armenia are working together towards
common goals of democracy and prosperity, security and peace, both
in Armenia and the region.
I am committed to working with all segments of the Armenian society
to make this relationship even strong and to build our partnership
to help Armenia succeed. Our future together is bright," Heffern said.
