Mirzoyan: Comprehensive strategic relations between the US and  Armenia are stronger than ever

ArmInfo. The comprehensive strategic relations between the US and Armenia are stronger than ever, as stated by Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan at a briefing with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

"I must emphasize that the comprehensive strategic relations between  our countries are stronger than ever.  It is no exaggeration to say  that we have entered a historic stage, given the periodic bilateral  developments," Mirzoyan said.

He reiterated the significance of the out comes of the August 2025  Washington summit, which made it possible to establish peace between  Armenia and Azerbaijan and reach a crucial agreement on lifting the  regional transport blockade. "A few months later, in January of this  year, Rubio and I signed a new framework document in Washington for  the implementation of TRIPP (the Trump Roadmap for International  Peace and Prosperity), and a few months later, now, on May 26, in  Yerevan, we were able to sign a preliminary intergovernmental  agreement on the TRIPP project," he said. 

According to him, of course, this is not the entire path that Yerevan  and Washington have taken, and there are already signed agreements on  artificial intelligence and semiconductors, in the field of nuclear  energy.  "We just signed a new document on minerals and critical  metals. Most importantly, I would say that with the agreement, we  have elevated our strategic cooperation to a new level, renaming it a  "comprehensive strategic partnership". I invite you to review and  compare the two documents. I expect you will see the extensive new  opportunities they yield, particularly regarding artificial  intelligence and other vital sectors, illustrating just how robust  this framework is in these areas," the Armenian Foreign Minister  stated.
