The US has provided Border Guard Troops of Armenia’s National Security Service with vehicles and specialized equipment worth approximately $1.4 million.

The handover ceremony was attended by US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Security Assistance Programs Shawna Wilson, US Chargé d’Affaires David Allen, and Roman Sahakyan, Armenian Border Guard Chief of Staff Colonel, according to aysor.am.

The assistance was delivered under the US Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) program. The package includes ambulances, protective equipment, maintenance tools, and IT equipment for the Ayrum border crossing.

According to the US side, the new equipment is expected to increase the crossing’s capacity, modernize Armenia’s border service, and strengthen controls along the country’s borders. This includes routes associated with the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) project.

Washington also reaffirmed its readiness to continue supporting Armenia’s efforts to strengthen border security.
