Pashinyan hopes Armenia, U.S. will build strategic bilateral relations under Trump presidency

YEREVAN. Nov 6 (Interfax) - Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has congratulated Donald Trump on being elected the 47th president of the United States.

"Mr. President-elect, I look forward to working with you to build up Armenian-U.S. strategic bilateral relations based on our shared values, priorities and interests," Pashinyan said on X.

Gevork Papoyan, deputy chairman of the Civil Contract party, led by Pashinyan, told reporters on Wednesday that "nothing will change" in Yerevan-Washington relations after Trump's election.

"We are preparing to establish strategic relations with the U.S., there is a corresponding signed document. Armenian-U.S. relations were and remain warm," Papoyan said.
