U.S. President Joe Biden has asked USAID Administrator Samantha Power to visit Armenia and convey his message that the U.S. supports Armenia’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and democracy.
According to “Armenpress”, Samantha Power said this at the press conference held at the US Embassy in Armenia.
“I am in Armenia because President Biden asked me to travel here. This was not a pre-planned trip. This is a trip being taken because President Biden wanted me to come and deliver a message on his behalf to the Prime Minister, which is that the United States supports Armenia’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and democracy,” Power said.
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Samantha Power and U.S. State Department Acting Assistant Secretary for Europe and Eurasian Affairs Yuri Kim arrived in Armenia on September 25 to affirm U.S. support for Armenia’s sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and democracy and to address humanitarian needs stemming from the recent violence in Nagorno-Karabakh.
