The new era is the time when human values, the brain, hard work, honesty, and talent will be driving the world. And this country [the U.S.] is a wonderful example of that,\u201d continued Sarkissian.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are the only bridge between Europe and Asia; the only bridge between Europe and Eurasia. And, the country status is rising with the real values of diplomacy. The message today is clear. We will do it. We will win. We will show the world not only revolution Armenian-style, we can not only build a country and call it a new Armenia, but that new Armenia is going to be a powerful country, a country that we all will be proud of, and we will march the world being proud Armenians.\u201d<\/p>\n
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Jorgan Andrews praised the \u201cpeaceful popular movement ushering in the new democratic era in Armenia\u201d and pledged to work with President Sarkissian and Prime Minister Pashinyan to \u201cto help bring back the will of your people to combat corruption and establish representative accountable governments, rule of law, greater respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, checks and balances, and political and economic freedoms.\u201d Addressing the Armenian-American Diaspora, Andrews noted, \u201cwe appreciate that you have served as a crucial bridge between our two countries for over 100 years now, we value your insights and look forward to continuing to work with you to strengthen U.S.- Armenia bonds.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo nation has been more committed than the United States to Armenian liberty, dating back to the time of the Armenian Genocide and U.S. recognition and relief efforts for the First Armenian Republic.\u201d He cited ongoing efforts to deepen cooperation between the two countries, through a new tax treaty and an MCC STEAM grant transforming Armenia into a \u201cSilicon Valley of the Caucasus,\u201d said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian.<\/p>\n
He noted the shared commitment to regional peace through the bipartisan Royce-Engel proposals and the U.S. aid program to Artsakh and other enduring investments in peace. \u201cTogether, we can create the conditions for a peaceful, durable, and democratic resolution of status and security issues between Azerbaijan and Artsakh,\u201d noted Hamparian.<\/p>\n
The evening\u2019s invocation was offered by His Grace Bishop Anoushavan Tanielian, Vicar General of the Eastern Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church of America. \u201cWe give thanks for the blessings that you have bestowed upon the Armenian people who went out and were given a new life. United States of America: we thank you for delivering us from the depth of despair and unto clarity of liberty,\u201d said Tanielian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
