Today U.S. Ambassador to Armenia Marie Yovanovitch expressed confidence that U.S.-Armenian relations are strengthening despite disclosure of documents by WikiLeaks.

The Ambassador considers that U.S. relations with partner states are strong enough to stand this test. These relations can be continued and strengthened. Yovanovitch is confident that this also refers to Armenia – a county having close and strong ties with U.S.

U.S. condemns any illegal publication of information. It is a threat to national security of the United States and jeopardizes efforts taken while working with its allies, partners and friends, she added. U.S. is carrying out huge work on security, policy and economy related to foreign policy agenda. Threats to country’s national security means U.S. partners are threatened as well, she concluded, RFE/RL reported.
