Armenian President Armen Sarkissian sent a congratulatory message to Joe Biden on assuming the post of the U.S. President, expressing home that friendly relations between Yerevan and Washington will help bring a long-awaited peace and stability in the region.

“I am sure you will do the utmost in the coming years to ensure further advancement and inspiring achievements for your country," the Armenian President said.

"I look forward to our collaboration, which will enable us to further the Armenian-American friendly relations and support a long-awaited peace and stability in the region."

Sarkissian congratulated Kamala Harris on assuming the post of the U.S. Vice President and wished her further success.

It was back in February 2019 when Sarkissian was filmed asking Biden if he intended to run for president in 2020. Footage posted by CNN shows the two meeting at the Munich Security Council in Germany and exchanging a few words, but the conversation was mainly whispered.
