The questions were related to the Lachin Corridor crisis, the ethnic cleansing of Artsakh, the greater US involvement in Armenia, the importance of democratic states helping each other.
The website presented the part about democracy below.
“The United States is committed to continue helping the Armenian people build a future, a path they chose in 2018 and to which they recommitted themselves during the 2021 parliamentary election. Our shared democratic values are the bedrock of our relationship.
Armenia’s participation in the 2021 Summit for Democracy was a recognition of Prime Minister Pashinyan’s commitment to democratic reforms.
While more needs to be done, the Prime Minister has demonstrated his commitment to reform in his efforts to combat corruption in Armenia. We look forward to further discussions along these lines and on other democratic reforms Armenia is pursuing at the second Summit for Democracy happening at the end of the month.
Ultimately, a strong, democratic Armenia will be in a better position to freely choose its own partners and allies.”
