In order to assess the nature and prospects of the strategic partnership between Armenia and the United States, it is necessary to get acquainted with the relevant documents, Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Imangali Tasmagambetov told NEWS.ru.

According to him, in general, establishing such a partnership with Washington is the sovereign right of the republic within the framework of the development of bilateral relations.

“However, it is important for both sides here to proceed from the principle of equal and indivisible security, that is, this partnership should not create security threats to other states and international associations,” Tasmagambetov said.

Earlier, the Armenian Foreign Ministry said that Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will sign a document on strategic partnership between the Republic of Armenia and the United States of America in Washington today.

This news has already been commented on by Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who stated that the development of the strategic partnership between Armenia and the United States is the sovereign right of Yerevan, Russia, for its part, intends to build ties with Armenia.

“This is absolutely the sovereign right of our Armenian friends. It is Armenia's sovereign right to develop relations along all azimuths. We still proceed from the main thing: we have our own bilateral relations with Armenia, we value these relations, we intend to develop them further,” the Kremlin spokesman said.

Peskov noted that in addition to bilateral aspects, interaction within the framework of integration processes, including the EAEU, is very important for Moscow. “This all together is a cooperation that yields significant dividends for Armenia and its people. This is what we are proceeding from,” he summarized.
