“It is good that I have returned to Yerevan so soon. The recent elections have once again demonstrated the strength of Armenian democracy. Armenia continues its course of reforms and is moving closer to Europe. Therefore, I am here with a simple message: Armenia can count on us. We are with you,” Ursula von der Leyen wrote on social media.
