Armenia attaches importance to further development of cooperation with the United States, RA President Serzh Sargsyan told a news conference in Yerevan today.

"Washington has provided considerable humanitarian and financial assistance to Yerevan and we hope for efficient cooperation after the presidential election there," he said, adding that tensions in the Iran-U.S. relations are harmful for Armenia.
