Armenia National Day

On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate the people of Armenia on your 34th Independence Day.

The United States stands with Armenia, our valued partner, as we advance our shared goals for peace, prosperity, and stability in the South Caucasus. Our steadfast relationship is built upon strong cultural ties, shared principles, and a mutual desire for regional security and economic opportunity.

President Trump's landmark summit between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the U.S. announcement of $145 million in assistance for Armenia to implement the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), underscore our nation's enduring commitment to Armenia, while highlighting our joint efforts to foster regional connectivity, economic investment, and security cooperation. We are pleased to support Armenia's path toward increasing energy security, expanding trade, and strengthening border security, while affirming our commitment to Armenia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Strategic Partnership and the bilateral memoranda of understanding signed by President Trump and Prime Minister Pashinyan form the cornerstones of our efforts to advance these shared goals.

As Armenia continues to forge its future as a crossroads of peace and growth, the United States reaffirms its commitment to a more connected, stable, and prosperous region.
