“The dialogue with the United States has not declined instead it has activated despite the fact no meetings with US President Donald Trump and State Secretary Mike Pompeo have been held,” Armenian FM Zohrab Mnatsakanyan told reporters at a briefing on Thursday following the cabinet session.

Mnatsakanyan added, the state administration of the US is a complex structure and meetings with Trump and Pompeo are on and has always been on the agenda.

“The high-level dialogue between Armenia and the United States has activated. You should look at all meetings held over the past year with officials from White House and State Department,” Mnatsakanyan said

Commenting on the recent statement by Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov about the Armenian-Azerbaijani summit over Karabakh, the FM said the talks continue and the relevant discussions are underway. “As I said at a press conference with the minister of Uruguay, the discussions continue [about the meetings of the two leaders] and as a rule we announce the details once an agreement is reached,” said the minister.
