Official Yerevan comments on Armenia`s possible accession to Abraham  Accords

ArmInfo. Armenia and the United States are discussing a wide range of issues on the agenda of relations within the framework of the dialogue. This was stated by the press secretary of the Foreign Ministry Ani Badalyan, referring to the words of the special representative of the US President Donald Trump Steve Witkoff that Armenia and Azerbaijan may join the Abraham Accords.

"Within the framework of the dialogue with the American side, various  topics are discussed. Both the established strategic partnership and  initiatives that contribute to the establishment of peace in the  region can, of course, provide new opportunities," she noted in an  interview with the Public Television of Armenia.

Steve Witkoff, the senior adviser and assistant to President Donald  Trump who is helping lead major peace negotiations worldwide, told  Breitbart News exclusively last week at the White House that he  believes there is "big energy" for what he expects will be a likely  expansion of the Abraham Accords in a matter of months not years.

Witkoff shockingly predicted that nations like Lebanon-where the  terror group Hezbollah operates from-and Syria, which had an Islamist  leader just topple the now former government of dictator Bashar  al-Assad, may join up with Israel into the Abraham Accords soon. He  also mentioned Libya as a possible partner, and Armenia and  Azerbaijan.

"My prediction is that sometime relatively soon we're going to see  the potential for Lebanon and even Syria to normalize," Witkoff said.  "There have been strong positive reactions from them. It could happen  with Libya. It could happen, and I'm talking about getting countries  into the Abraham Peace Accords, it could happen with Azerbaijan and  Armenia where we believe we're very, very close to a settlement-a  final settlement-of the conflicts in those countries. Both, I  believe, might be willing to join the Abraham Peace Accords. So  that's a huge initiative for the president. He believes in it. It  promotes peace and stability generally in the region. We are out  there, and I have a very, very good team. We work with the State  Department very, very well which allows to take talent from there as  needed in some of these conversations that we're having. I'm really  confident we're going to have four or five, maybe six, countries  enter the Abraham Peace Accords in the next couple of months and that  will be a big signal to the world about President Trump's foreign  policy initiatives to promote peace and stability in the world."
