“US Ambassador was able to feel the pains of our people”
With the initiative of the Armenia community in the USA and the charitable associations on March 1st a meeting was held with Richard Mills, the US Ambassador to the RA, at the Gavukchyan hall of St. Vartan Cathedral in New York. Leader of the US Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church Archbishop Khazhak Parsamyan also attended the meeting. Davit Najaryan opened the evening and introduced the Ambassador. Then the guest made his speech.
The ambassador touched upon the issues relating to the peace in the region. He noted that the USA has recently made more investments in Armenia.
“The Ambassador was mainly interested in Turkey, as well as in Georgia and Azerbaijan. We shouldn’t expect serious political issues from the United States. They speak only about humanitarian good. They know very well that in the end the lasting and only ally of Armenia is Russia. The USA knows very well that despite all the efforts when in a critical condition Armenia will turn its face towards Russia. And the only reason for that is the fact that Armenia and Armenians don’t rely on the West and the United States. I am very happy that during this one year the US Ambassador has been able to feel the pains of our people, our cultural values and maintenance. We are also happy that he uses the word ‘Genocide’, while the US Government doesn’t use it,” said Hakob Vardivaryan, Chairman of the Tekeyan Cultural Association.
