YEREVAN, DECEMBER 8, ARMENPRESS. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that the relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem would probably not take place for at least two years, ARMENPRESS reports, citing Russia Today.

 “This is not something that is going to happen this year or probably not next year but the president does want us to move in a very concrete, very steadfast way,” Tillerson said. He made the statement after talks in Paris with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.

He added that for the construction of the embassy in Jerusalem it is first necessary to be allocated with the area, develop a work plan and get all the necessary permissions.
