“This is a well-deserved tribute to Congresswoman Speier for her commitment to the pursuit of strong U.S.-Armenia relations. With over a decade of service in the House of Representatives, Congresswoman Speier has remained committed to solidifying the Republic of Armenia’s democracy and her leadership has been vital in developing stronger ties between our two countries,” Rep.

Cox said.

“As a proud member of the Congressional Armenian Caucus, I look forward to partnering with the Armenian Assembly to advance U.S.-Armenia relations” he added.
