YEREVAN, DECEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS. After some time, the number of countries supporting Armenia’s Crossroads of Peace project will grow, President of Armenia Vahagn Khachaturyan has said.

In an interview with Armenpress, the President said that currently the EU is like-minded regarding Armenia's vision for the Crossroads of Peace project. 

“I can say that they [EU] are ready [to support]. We only need to carry out specialized work,” he said.

“I think that after a while we will have like-minded supporters who will be willing to contribute and participate in the implementation of this project [Crossroads of Peace],” the president added.

Khachaturyan lauded the New Regional Reality and the Crossroads of Peace forum in Yerevan, which took place recently and was attended by analysts and experts from Iran, India, Georgia and Turkiye.  He said that such initiatives are highly important. “This is how everything starts. You can’t just say ‘I have a good idea, why isn’t anyone listening?’ That’s not how it happens. You have to be able to serve it,” the president said.

President Khachaturyan added that Armenia must be able to envision the continuation of the Crossroads of Peace project towards various directions, which will make the project even more attractive.
