Armenian Foreign Ministry responds to claims of US Vice President visit

Armenia’s Foreign Ministry has declined to confirm reports that US Vice President J.D. Vance is planning to visit the country early next year.

Responding to an inquiry from Armenpress news agency, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ani Badalyan said that information about upcoming high-level visits is announced “through appropriate channels and in due course”.

Her comments came after Arman Babajanyan, the chairman of the pro-Western “For the Republic” party, claimed on Facebook that Vice President Vance would travel to Armenia in February 2026.
