PanARMENIAN.Net – A newly- appointed U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John
Heffern submitted his credentials to President Serzh Sargsyan.

Congratulating the Ambassador on his appointment, the President
expressed hope for his further contribution to U.S.-Armenia ties.

As the president noted, “strengthening of ties with U.S. is largely
stimulating economic development in Armenia, also promoting democratic
principles in the country. We thank the U.S. for its balanced position
on issues that are crucial to Armenia.”

The Ambassador, in turn, stressed “U.S. President Barack Obama gives
high assessment to Armenia’s efforts in Karabakh settlement, with U.S.

intending to continue cooperation in the resolution of regional
problems,” presidential press service reported.
