Looking at our region and the world with a new look, with new eyes is an educational process because the region where there is Armenia-the homeland is one thing, while the region where there is Armenia-the state, the homeland-the state, the Republic of Armenia, is something completely different. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this in his concluding remarks during the debates on the implementation of the 2024 program of the Armenian government in the National Assembly Thursday.

He noted that a huge part of the internal Armenian discourse is supplemented by what others say, and what they say in other capitals.

“Meanwhile, the most important thing for our destiny is what we have to say because what we have to say is the primary tool for controlling our destiny. And we say: there will be no new Armenia-Azerbaijan escalation and no new war between, there will be peace.

(…)

Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed on the draft of the agreement on the establishment of peace and interstate relations between themselves, negotiations on the agreement on the draft have been completed, and as I showed in my report of April 15, there are no obstacles to signing the agreement. The text of the agreement has been agreed upon.

Forget about the Armenia-Azerbaijan escalation and war. We shall open the new page in the history of the South Caucasus together, and we [i.e. Armenia] are ready to simultaneously sign the peace agreement and the joint Armenian-Azerbaijani petition to the OSCE on the dissolution of the Minsk Group organizations," Pashinyan declared.
