Armenia is turning from a periphery into a center before our eyes, with the joint efforts of all of us, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in an interview given to the Public Television of Armenia.

Reflecting on US Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Armenia, Pashinyan noted that most of Vance's statements that were made during this visit were economic rather than political.

"This means that the statement of August 8 has achieved success," the Armenian PM added. Pashinyan's interview will be aired today at 10:10pm Armenia time.
