U.S. has important place in Armenia's political and economic life
The U.S., as the major donor state, has an important place in Armenia's political and economic life. Relations with the U.S. are a priority of the RA foreign policy, Armenian Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan said when addressing the Armenian-American working group on economic cooperation.

"The Armenia-U.S. relations re rapidly developing. Since proclamation of Armenia's independence the U.S. has contributed to consolidation of democracy. Armenia has received some $1.7 billion as humanitarian and technical assistance from the U.S. government since October 1992," the RA Prime Minister said.

"The high level of the Armenian-American relations and their development is the result of stability and economic growth of our republic. The format of the working group has proved its viability and should be maintained," Serge Sargsyan said.
