We Support Armenia's Sovereignty, Independence, and Territorial Integrity: Blinken

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken congratulated Armenia on the occasion of Independence Day.

In a congratulatory message published on the State Department's website, he extended his best wishes to the Armenian people on behalf of the United States.

“Armenia chose the path of freedom and sovereignty when it declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Since then, we have witnessed your commitment to democratic values, human rights, the rule of law, and the development and strengthening of the economy and justice for all Armenians. These values reflect our own, and we take pride in collaborating with Armenia in these areas.

We will continue to support the democratic aspirations of the Armenian people, their sovereignty, and security. The United States supports Armenia's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, and remains committed to ensuring lasting and dignified peace in the South Caucasus region, where the rights of all are respected,” the message states.

The Secretary expressed readiness to continue working on the development of bilateral relations and economic ties, wishing the Armenian people a prosperous and peaceful year.
