ArmInfo.Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan sent a congratulatory message to Joe Biden on the occasion of his election as President of the United States of  America.

The message spread by the press service of the RA government, in  particular, reads: "Dear Mr. Biden!  Please accept our heartfelt  congratulations on your election as President of the United States of  America. I am sure that the rich experience and knowledge gained as a  result of many years of political and legislative activities will  help you in your efforts to bring the United States and the people of  the United States to prosperity. During your tenure, you have made a  great contribution to strengthening the Armenian- American friendship  and mutually beneficial cooperation. The Armenian people appreciate  your principled position regarding the recognition of the Armenian  Genocide and its protection I am convinced that during your  presidency, the Armenian-American bilateral relations based on common  democratic values will continue to develop in accordance with the  level of strategic dialogue between our states. This is an invaluable  contribution to this process. Armenia attaches great importance to  the role of the United States in the peaceful settlement of the  Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group. As  you know, for over a month now, Azerbaijan and Turkey, ignoring all  the efforts of the co-chairs to establish a ceasefire regime, have  continued joint aggression against Armenia and Artsakh with the  participation of foreign terrorists. In this regard, I welcome your  vision of resolving the issue exclusively by peaceful means, which  you expressed as a presidential candidate. I am full of hope that  your administration will take active steps to end the war and a  comprehensive settlement, which should be based on ensuring the  security of the people of Artsakh through the exercise of their right  to self-determination. Once again, I congratulate you on your  election as President of the United States, I wish you good health,  success and fruitful activity. "
