Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who was on a two-day working visit to France, met with numerous representatives of the Armenian community in Paris, on Friday evening, and he also responded to some of their queries.

“The nonviolent velvet revolution, which took place [recently] in Armenia, has united all Armenians around union and civil awareness; we realized that we are all citizens of the Republic of Armenia,” Pashinyan said, in particular, in his opening remarks at the event. “Now, there are a people who believe in their strength, future, and that people are now irreversibly victorious.

“The time has come that we [Armenians] together fulfill, nationwide, shoulder to shoulder, side by side, the dreams we have dreamt of for millennia.

“We are now a people who stand up, straighten their back, and walk toward the fulfillment of the dreams.”
