— ANCA<\/a> Welcomes U.S. Appreciation for Armenia’s Constructive Contribution to Peace<\/strong><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON, DC – In an apparent nod to Armenia’s constructive engagement on regional and global security challenges, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson today marked the 26th anniversary of Armenian Independence with a public statement praising Yerevan’s “dedication to regional stability and international peacekeeping operations,” reported the Armenian National Committee of America.<\/p>\n

“We welcome this expression of appreciation by Secretary Tillerson as a reflection of an emerging consensus within the Washington, DC foreign policy community around a policy of differentiation that, on the one hand, credits Yerevan for its constructive contributions to regional stability in the Caucasus and peacekeeping operations around the world, and, on the other, is willing to call out Baku for its openly destabilizing and unapologetically undemocratic conduct,” said Aram Hamparian, Executive Director of the ANCA.<\/p>\n

The full text of Secretary Tillerson’s statement is below.<\/p>\n
