Washington, United States: US State Secretary Antony Blinken and Armenian Foreign Affairs Minister Ararat Mirzoyan sign a charter to deepen the relationship between the two countries. Armenia is seeking a greater distance from traditional ally Russia following a humiliating loss to Azerbaijan. “This charter, the strategic partnership that we’re signing, will, I think, contribute to a more resilient, a more peaceful, a more secure, a more independent South Caucasus”, says Antony Blinken
