The most important goal of Armenia’s foreign policy is to make independence stronger and stronger, to defend sovereignty and security, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in an interview with Euronews.

He reiterated Armenian governments’ determination to implement the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement with EU.

“It means to have really independent judiciary, institutional mechanism for fighting corruption and preventing corruption,” he said.

Asked whether Armenia learned from the experience of Ukraine which suffered from interruptions of Russian has supplies, Pashinyan said he does not think that Armenia has to learn something from Ukraine's experience.

“We are discussing any opportunities of cooperation in field of energy with Iran, with Georgia, with Russia. We will discuss that with the EU,” he added.

Pashinyan assured that system of ruling, of making changes in Armenia isn't authoritarian. For democratic system it's very important to involve more and more people in any process – economic, political, he said.

Asked whether it possible that the current generation of Armenians will know only Nikol Pashnyan who is a national leader who is re-elected over and over again, the PM said: “If I will be elected through free and democratic elections – that's OK. If in Armenia there is a threat for creating authoritarian rule or dictatorship – there is no any chance of that. Democracy derives from our people and from our national set of values.”
