US Chargé d’Affaires visits Gyumri

U.S. Chargé d’Affaires a.i. to Armenia David Allen made his first visit to Gyumri, connecting with the community and learning more about the city, the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan said in a statement.

“The visit ranged from a stop at the Shirak Regional Division of the MOIA’s Police Patrol Service, highlighting U.S. support for Armenia’s law enforcement reform efforts and the shared priority of building safer communities, to a visit to TUMO Gyumri, to learn about programs and activities that empower young people, and a warm meeting with U.S. government exchange program alumni who continue to make a difference locally and beyond,’’ reads the statement.

“The day concluded with the launch of the Founder’s Museum at the Gyumri American Corner as part of the #Freedom250 celebration - an exhibition open to the public offering an opportunity to learn about the origins of the United States and the enduring values of leadership, civic engagement, and freedom,’’ it reads.
