13:52, 10.02.2015
WASHINGTON, DC. - The United States are ready to help Armenia and
other regional states in overcoming economic problems that occurred
because of deteriorating economic situation in Russia, Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State Eric Rubin said.
The officials in Washington realize that economic difficulties in
Russia have an impact on other countries, and the U.S. is ready
to work with the governments of these states to help them overcome
the obstacles.
Eric Rubin noted that economic difficulties in Russia were caused
rather by reduction in energy prices and insufficient diversification
of Russian economy, than by western sanctions.
The goal of sanctions is not to punish other regional states,
Rubin said, adding that the issue will be high on the agenda of the
meetings between new Ambassador Richard Mills with Armenian leadership
in Yerevan.
The politician said U.S. policy on South Caucasus is based on support
of sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of states. At
the same time U.S. supports economic growth, democracy development
and free speech in these countries.
Eric Rubnin emphasized that the United States consider their relations
with the regional states in the context of development of bilateral
ties, rather than in terms of competitiveness with Russia.
