Rubio to visit Yerevan ahead of key elections in Armenia
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will pay a visit to Yerevan on May 26, as Armenia prepares for a crucial general election on June 7.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry on May 24 announced that Rubio will hold talks with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan.
Mirzoyan and Rubio are expected to make joint statements to the press and several documents are likely to be signed between the two sides. The Armenian foreign minister is also scheduled to hold a separate press briefing.
The visit has drawn attention as it comes ahead of elections widely seen as a referendum on Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s peace and normalization agenda.
