It is not that people with rifles will come, it could be advisory work. But we also want to say that we have taken into account the interests of our partners in our cooperation and continue to take them into account. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this during his press conference Friday—and answering a reporter’s question about when a US team to assist Armenia’s border guards will arrive in the country, as it was announced by now former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken when signing the charter on strategic partnership with Armenia recently.

“We collaborate in various domains, including toward reforms and capacity development of our various state structures, and that is where we balance and diversify relations,” Pashinyan said.
