U.S. Secretary of State Rubio Marks Armenia Independence Day

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement marking the 35th anniversary of Armenia's independence, pledging deeper ties between the United States and Armenia.

Rubio's remarks come as part of annual diplomatic recognition of Armenia's September 21 independence declaration in 1991, following the Soviet Union's collapse. The statement signals continued U.S. commitment to strengthening bilateral relations with the Armenian government.

For Armenian-Americans, such high-level diplomatic statements reflect ongoing U.S. engagement with Armenia and underscore the country's place in American foreign policy considerations in the South Caucasus region.
