[Presenter] The US embassy in Armenia is watching the US presidential
elections since early this morning. The embassy has also invited
Armenian Defence Minister Serzh Sarkisyan and members of various
political organizations.
What is the significance of the US presidential elections to Armenia?
Defence Minister Serzh Sarkisyan said that it is not all that
important to our county.
[Serzh Sarkisyan] The USA is not a country the outcome of the
presidential election in which can influence the country’s policies. I
think that our relations will develop and deepen, especially in the
military sphere. Once again I would like to reiterate that the
relations between the USA and Armenia in the military sphere will not
depend on the outcome of the US presidential elections.
