    Armenian Assembly of America Welcomes New Armenian Ambassador to
    Washington

    Newly appointed Armenian Ambassador to the United States, Tigran
    Sargsyan, has officially begun his duties in Washington, D.C. Last
    week, Armenian Assembly of America Executive Director Bryan Ardouny
    sat down with Sargsyan to discuss ways to deepen the U.S.-Armenia
    relationship.

    "The Assembly will continue to advance U.S.-Armenia relations, and as
    we approach the centennial of the Armenian Genocide we will remember
    America's proud chapter of humanitarian intervention to help save
    the survivors of the first genocide of the 20th Century," Ardouny said.

    On Monday, Ambassador Sargsyan officially presented his credentials
    to President Obama at a ceremony held in the Oval Office at the
    White House.

    The former Armenian Prime Minister replaced the long-serving U.S.

    ambassador, Tatoul Markarian, who has been appointed as the new Head
    of Mission of the Republic of Armenia to the European Union.

    According to a press release by the Armenian Ministry for Foreign
    Affairs (MFA), Sargsyan emphasized the "high-level and efficient
    cooperation" in Armenian-American relations. He also defined his
    mission as ambassador as "broadening the scope of mutually beneficial
    cooperation and interaction."

    These sentiments were echoed by President Obama, who stated that
    "The United States attaches great importance to its relationship with
    Armenia." President Obama also expressed confidence that Sargsyan's
    many years of experience will assist in "deepening the relations
    between the two friendly nations."
