Armenia is commencing negotiations on a nuclear cooperation agreement with the United States, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said Tuesday, January 14.
Mirzoyan made the remarks at the signing ceremony of the Armenia – U.S. Strategic Partnership Charter in Washington.
“It (the nuclear cooperation agreement – Ed.) will provide a framework for cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy and mark our commitment to peaceful nuclear development under the highest standards of safety, security, and non-proliferation,” Mirzoyan said.
