    The relations between Armenia and the USA are at the high level, and
    simplification of the visa regime between the countries is evidence
    of it, Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergey Manasaryan, said during today's
    parliamentary discussion on fulfillment of the state budget 2013.

    He said that citizens of the USA may visit Armenia without a visa, just
    the same way, as a certain category of Armenian citizens may visit the
    USA without a visa. He means the announcement of the Embassy of the USA
    in Armenia, made on 21 May, according to which children under 10 and
    adults which have already become 79 may visit the USA without a visa,

    Touching on the work implemented by the Foreign Ministry in 2013,
    Manasaryan said that over the reported period Armenia went on
    developing the priority directions of its foreign policy - the
    Karabakh conflict settlement and the international recognition of
    the Armenian genocide. "The efforts of the Armenian party on the
    Karabakh settlement are understood by the world community. And we
    have developing contacts with the OSCE MG", - he said.

    According to him, the international community understands Armenia's
    stand on normalization of relations with Turkey without any
    preconditions. "Armenia continues the strategic partnership with
    Russia, the integration into the Eurasian Economic Union and other
    international structures. We give high priority to the relations with
    Georgia and Iran", he stressed.

    In 2013 Armenia boosted cooperation with Arab countries and Latin
    America and promoted interaction with India, China and Japan. In June
    2014 a Japanese delegation will arrive in Armenia to discuss the
    logistics of opening of an embassy in Yerevan. "We have high-level
    relations with China. We are implementing several projects. The Public
    Television will be renovated and re-equipped due to the Chinese funds.

    Scanners will also be purchased for the customs points and a Chinese
    school of regional significance will be launched in Armenia", said
    Manasaryan.

    For his part, when presenting the Armenian Foreign Ministry's budget
    fulfillment, Chief Treasurer of Armenia Atom Janjugazyan said that
