Congratulatory Message from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio:
On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate the people of Armenia on their 34th Independence Day.
The United States stands with our valued partner, Armenia, as we advance our shared goals of peace, prosperity, and stability in the South Caucasus. Our enduring relationship is built on strong cultural ties, shared principles, and a mutual desire for regional security and economic opportunity. President Trump’s landmark summit between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the U.S. announcement of $145 million in assistance to Armenia under the Trump Path to International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) Program underscore our country’s unwavering commitment to Armenia, while underscoring our joint efforts to foster regional connectivity, economic investment, and security cooperation.
We are pleased to support Armenia’s path to increased energy security, expanded trade, and strengthened border security, while reaffirming our commitment to Armenia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The strategic partnership and bilateral memorandums of understanding signed by President Trump and Prime Minister Pashinyan form the cornerstone of our efforts to advance these shared goals. As Armenia continues to shape its future as a crossroads of peace and growth, the United States reaffirms its commitment to a more connected, stable, and prosperous region.”
