Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Hambardzum Matevosyan said that "the Armenian-American relations entered a qualitatively new phase following the velvet revolution.”

“Bilateral intergovernmental consultations grew from economic frameworks into strategic dialogues. I am happy that today we have a rich agenda which covers many areas, from legal reforms and prevention of corruption to energy and information technology,” the Deputy PM said, speaking on June 30 during the celebration of US Independence Day.

“I should note with satisfaction that in the spring of 2022, the annual sessions of the Armenian-American strategic dialogue were resumed and on May 2, the launch of the concluding session was given in Washington by the Armenian Foreign Minister and US Secretary of State.
