John Bolton: U.S. supports Pashinyan’s efforts to secure prosperous future for Armenia
U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton took to Twitter on Thursday to present details of his telephone conversation with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
Bolton voiced the U.S. support for Pashinyan’s reforms agenda, hailing the December parliamentary elections in the country as democratic.
“I called Prime Minister Pashinyan of Armenia yesterday to congratulate him on his re-appointment and applaud the Armenian people on free and fair elections in December. The U.S. supports his efforts to secure a prosperous future for Armenia,” the top U.S. official tweeted.
Earlier on Thursday, Pashinyan said on his Facebook page he had held a telephone conversation with Bolton to discuss the regional situation and bilateral relations, with no reference made to the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) conflict.
