Newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to Armenia, Ms Marie Yovanovitch handed her credentials to RA President Serzh Sargsyan.

The solemn opening ceremony will take place in the National Theater of Opera and Ballet on October 10.

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said it would be better to form diplomatic relations between Turkey and Armenia prior to the establishment of any commission.

Unfortunately, the Nagorno Karabakh problem has been neglected so much that many years of joint efforts are required to break the deadlock.

The presidential candidate also reaffirmed his support for a strong "U.S.-Armenian relationship that advances our common security and strengthens Armenian democracy."

"Newspapers lie. Don't buy them," the Turkish Prime Minister said.

The Armenian Foreign Ministry commented on Nasir Hamidi Zare's statement that Iran opened talks with Baku and Yerevan for mediation in the Karabakh issue.

New premises of the Armenian Defense Ministry opened in Yerevan.
