The meetings held in Armenia by Blinken's other deputy, Richard Verman, who visited Yerevan 5 days after US Deputy Secretary of State James O'Brien, are being closely watched.

Axar.az reports that 5 days after O'Brien's visit to Yerevan on June 10-12, what other proposals Verman came to Yerevan with is the focus of attention of countries with regional interest, especially Russia.

Verma has already met with the President of Armenia Vaaghn Khachatryan and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan.

Khachatryan recalled the meeting that took place in Yerevan a few days ago and was attended by James O'Brien as part of the Armenia-US strategic dialogue, and said that the parties are ready to deepen relations.

"This will be reflected in the memorandum of understanding, which will raise the status of the bilateral dialogue to the level of strategic partnership. Your visit is important in the context of increasing the role of decentralized cooperation. From personal experience, I know what that means. Your attention to this initiative is very important," Khachaturyan said.

Foreign Minister Mirzoyan discussed not only strategic dialogue with Verma, but also regional issues and presented Armenia's efforts to normalize relations with Azerbaijan.

The fact that Verman said in the meeting with Mirzoyan that he "worked for many years to establish relations with Armenia" did not go unnoticed. It is clear that Verma is the main person working with Armenia.

It is also quite interesting that he emphasized "the importance of developing a clear road map for future cooperation aimed at peace, prosperity, economic development, trade and personal contacts". Blinken's deputy would like some relations to be clarified and clarified.

It should be noted that the official information states that Verman came to Yerevan to participate in the forum dedicated to issues of democracy in the local government system.
