Thank you for joining us @AMBZAMPOLLI
Giovanni had the honor of congratulating Armenia’s Prime Minister, THE HON. NIKOL PASHINYAN, as last month marked Armenia’s 35th anniversary of independence. As President Trump noted, the conflict lasted more than 35 years—longer than Armenia’s modern independence. In Bishkek, my friend PRESIDENT The Hon. ILHAM ALIYEV introduced me to the Prime Minister, saying: “Prime Minister, you know, we both stand here thanks to his friend” (President Donald J. Trump). Moments like these make you proud to serve—and inspire you to fight, fight, fight for peace. Thank you, President Trump, our President of Peace! 🇺🇸🕊️ PEACE THROUGH PROSPERITY—AMERICA FIRST. ⭐️ We commend H.E. NAREK MKRTCHYAN, Armenia’s Ambassador to the United States, for advancing our technology partnership. Firebird’s announced $4 BILLION infrastructure project in Armenia, powered by NVIDIA technology, shows what cooperation can achieve. SI—SUPER INTELLIGENCE!🇺🇸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was delighted to welcome my good friend, Nobel Peace Prize laureate @k_satyarthi, to DC. I was especially pleased that he graciously accepted my invitation to visit Armenia and participate as a speaker at a very important event. Over the course of his decades-long work, Kailash Satyarthi has helped free more than 120,000 children from forced labor, slavery, trafficking, and other forms of exploitation. Under his leadership, the Global March Against Child Labour reached 103 countries, becoming one of the largest international movements for the protection of children’s rights. The movement played an important role in the adoption of ILO Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour, which later became the first convention in the history of the United Nations system to achieve universal ratification by all ILO member states. We look forward to welcoming Kailash Satyarthi to Armenia.

National Prayer Breakfast in Armenia
The Republic of Armenia Prayer Breakfast was a meaningful opportunity to connect with faith leaders, public officials, and friends from around the world, united by a shared commitment to peace, human dignity, and freedom of religion or belief. It was an honor to join Assistant Secretary of State Riley Barnes, senior White House Faith Office Advisor Paula White, senior Armenian officials, and other distinguished leaders in advancing a core bipartisan American value: Freedom of Religion or Belief for every person, everywhere. Armenia’s historic faith tradition and its commitment to peace make this dialogue especially meaningful. #FreedomOfReligion #FreedomOfBelief #Armenia #ReligiousFreedom

It was a great honor and privilege to meet with the Prime Minister of Armenia, H.E. Nikol Pashinyan, at his office and discuss a wide range of important issues, with a particular focus on freedom of religion or belief. I was deeply impressed by his knowledge and understanding of these critical issues, as well as his commitment to Armenia’s progress and his vision for peace and stability in the region. Grateful for this meaningful and thoughtful conversation during my visit to Armenia. 🇦🇲

Picture of the Day: Trump prays with Armenians for peace around the world in his office. Representatives of the Armenian clergy in the United States (whom Pashinyan is causing trouble for in Yerevan) visited the White House, home to the author of the legendary "route." The Armenian spiritual leaders, in their prayer, touched upon the efforts to establish peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and once again reminded the peacemaker that it was he who made a significant contribution to the process. Did Grandpa at least not call Armenia "Albania" this time?

We had a great event at the NEDs club dedicated to the Armenian Ararat Brady, its heritage and delicious taste.
The Embassy of Armenia to US hosted a tasting at Ned’s Club, bringing together American political, diplomatic, academic, and business circles to discover Armenia’s brandy-making traditions and explore growing interest in Armenian brandy and new markets.
