Ara Papyan clarification regarding U.S.-Armenia Strategic Partnership Commission
Diplomat Ara Papyan, member of the Armenian National Democratic Alliance council, and Head of the center at Modus Vivendi made this statement on facebook,
To clarify, the signed document—the Strategic Partnership Commission Charter—is a non-binding agreement. It is not a formal bilateral treaty establishing a strategic partnership. Rather, it is a procedural framework outlining the operation of an interagency working group, referred to as a commission.
The U.S. Secretary of State articulated the purpose of this document precisely, stating: “We’re establishing our U.S.-Armenia Strategic Partnership Commission.”
