US Amabassador: Relations between Armenia and the United States remain strong (video)
US Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern has given an interview to Gyumri-based GALA TV. On Thursday, October 2, the Armenian government approved the draft treaty on the country's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) and Armenia will likely join the Union in the near future. As a counterargument to the people opposing Serzh Sargsyan’s decision of joining the Union, the authorities say Armenia could become a link, a bridge between the West and Russia. O you find this option realistic and practical? The relations between Armenia and the United States, as well as Armenia and the West have been strong and continue to remain strong. The relations between Armenia and the United States, as well as Armenia and the West have been strong and continue to remain strong. Armenia makes decisions regarding its membership to various organizations, and we follow all these developments. There cannot be winners and losers in this situation. The Armenian government and our EU partners have expressed their readiness to work together in areas where cooperation will not obstruct Armenia’s commitments within the Customs Union. Today we are trying to find these mutually beneficial areas where Armenia and the European Union can cooperate. I think the European Union has the same approach. Details are available here
