`We are seeing the emergence of a great new relationship with  Armenia` - Marco Rubio 

ArmInfo."We are seeing the emergence of a great new relationship with Armenia that really had grown stagnant for a long period of time," US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated this while reporting to President Donald Trump at a Cabinet meeting on his recent short visit to Armenia.

"One of the places I stopped in last night was to initial the Trump  Route for International Peace and Prosperity in Armenia. This is a  key linchpin of the peace deal that you were able to achieve between  Armenia and Azerbaijan," Rubio told President Trump during a Cabinet  meeting.

"In addition to that we also signed a critical minerals MoU with them  and a strategic engagement one as well. So, just a reminder of  another war you helped to settle Mr. President. From that, we are now  seeing the emergence of a great new relationship with Armenia, that  really had grown stagnant for a long period of time. So we are doing  well on that front as well," Rubio added.

Rubio visited Yerevan on May 26 for a short visit that lasted about  an hour. Three documents were signed during the visit: the TRIP  Framework Agreement, the Strategic Partnership Charter, and the  Memorandum of Understanding on Critical Natural Resources. Many  experts viewed this move by the American side as a pre-election rally  to support Pashinyan's government in the June parliamentary  elections.
