Brief statement frames Armenia trade agreement as model that preserves sovereignty
An unidentified speaker said a planned agreement with Armenia will be signed and implemented to "open up Armenia for business" while respecting the country's sovereignty.

The speaker portrayed the measure as a step to deepen bilateral ties between the United States and Armenia and described the arrangement as a potential model other countries could follow. "It opens up Armenia for business and allows it to prosper economically," the speaker said, adding that the deal "doesn't in any way infringe upon, the sovereignty of Armenia."

The speaker emphasized that the agreement would strengthen economic activity without undermining territorial integrity. He said the agreement would be "great for Armenia, great for The United States," and characterized the trip arrangement as an example for how countries can pursue economic engagement while preserving sovereignty.

A second unidentified speaker closed the brief remarks with a short comment and "Thank you."

The statement offered a summary of the intended effects and a commitment to continue implementing the agreement; no additional procedural steps, dates, or signatory identities were specified in the transcript.
