ArmInfo. The visit of Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan to the United States is under protocol preparation
As Armenian Ambassador to the United States Varuzhan Nersesyan told The Hill, at this stage, work is underway to prepare Mnatsakanyan's visit to Washington.
“The visit and meeting with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is expected to take place this month,” the diplomat said. The publication notes that despite the meeting was planned in accordance with the annual spirit of strategic dialogue between the United States and Armenia, it becomes relevant against the background of the aggravation of the Karabakh conflict, as a result of which dozens of civilians were killed, hundreds were injured and tens of thousands were deported.
Ambassador Nersesyan noted that work is underway to prepare the visit, but its details will be officially announced in the statements of the Armenian and US Foreign Ministries.
The Armenian diplomat also expressed his conviction that the US should stop military assistance to Azerbaijan and put pressure on Turkey so that Ankara stops interfering in the conflict.
