On the eve of the upcoming annual meeting of the U.S.-Armenia Economic
Task Force, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) hosted
a roundtable talk on the future of U.S.-Armenian relations.
The discussion, held in the ANCA's Aramian Conference Room, featured a
far-ranging and constructive exchange among a broad cross-section of
stakeholders with a diverse set of experiences dealing with various
aspects of America's relationship with Armenia, Artsakh, and her own
citizens among the Armenian American community.
"We were pleased to host an open exploration of the present state and
future direction of U.S.-Armenian relations that was characterized by
both a constructive exchange between those holding a diverse set of
viewpoints and also a core consensus on shared national and democratic
aspirations," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. "We want
to thank each and every person who participated, not only for the
wisdom and vision they shared, but also for the very practical advice
and suggestions that they brought to the table."
The U.S.-Armenia Economic Task Force meeting is set to address a
broad range of issues impacting this bilateral relationship, with a
special focus on growing the trade and investment levels between these
two nations. "This October, we're looking to the U.S. leadership of
this bilateral platform to build on more than a decade of largely
aid-related discussions by bringing to the table a set of concrete
deliverables: increased trade, new investments, and good jobs that
will foster hope and opportunity in both nations," added Hamparian,
following the roundtable.
The ANCA has, against the backdrop of the downward trend in overall
foreign aid levels, long advocated greater U.S. prioritization of
the growth of economic ties with Armenia, in order to create jobs,
reinforce the enduring friendship between the American and Armenian
peoples, help offset the crushing impact of dual Turkish-Azerbaijani
blockades, and - very significantly - provide Armenia with strategic
options in terms of its economic and security relations with regional
powers.
