President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, who is on a working visit to the US, on Wednesday met with governor Charlie Baker of the State of Massachusetts. 

The President noted that there are close partnership and friendly relations between Armenia and the US, and he expressed gratitude for the continued US support to Armenia.

In terms of the development of Armenia-US relations, Sargsyan underscored the role of the US states, especially of Massachusetts. He noted that Armenia highlights decentralized cooperation, and in this connection, it wishes to establish direct ties with the State of Massachusetts.

Also, the President thanked Governor Baker for his resolute stance in favor of Armenian Genocide recognition, and for supporting the Armenian people.

In addition, the Armenian President lauded the State of Massachusetts’ special position toward the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

President Sargsyan added with appreciation that the State of Massachusetts—and the US, in general—has contributed to the strengthening of Armenia’s statehood, with its scientific and educational potential, too.

Serzh Sargsyan invited Governor Charlie Baker to Armenia.

At the end of the talk, a working dinner was served, and it brought together Governor Baker, community leaders, and members of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
