James O’Brien, US Deputy Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, and Erin McKee, Head of USAID’s Europe and Eurasia Bureau, spoke about the US’s possibilities, ways, and support of the economic development of Armenia.
“We are here to reaffirm our unequivocal support for the Republic of Armenia’s resistance, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. We support RA’s economic reforms and energy independence. The USA provided 8.5 million dollars to support Armenians displaced from Nagorno Karabakh. We will support the energy security of RA, within the framework of which we will provide 8.6 million dollars for renewable energy. The next $6 million program will support RA’s food production and security,” said Ambassador McKee.
