Adam Schiff: Armenia should Become Silicon Valley of the Caucasus
The expansion of US economic and military assistance to Armenia is in the interests of the two countries, US Congressman and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence member Adam Schiff stated, News.am reports citing Voice of America Armenian service.
In his view, Armenia has come under a serious influence of Russia in recent times, and this cannot be considered a positive impact. As per Schiff, it is in Armenia’s interests to develop close relations with both the US and Russia.
He added that Azerbaijan shall not be permitted to carry out provocations along its line of contact with Nagorno-Karabakh.
The US Congress member stressed that he would want very much for Armenia to become the Silicon Valley of the Caucasus and to attract the entire intellectual potential, and that the high-tech sector is very promising for the country.
He noted that despite the US budget cuts, the American assistance to Armenia will continue.
Also, Adam Schiff stated that the Armenian diaspora needs to actively participate in shaping the future of Armenia.
