YEREVAN, JULY 25, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has called for the development of a non-confrontational regional policy and clarification of Armenia’s role in the region’s future architecture amid the tense and unstable international geopolitical situation.

“The geopolitical impacts in our region have reduced due to the events in Ukraine and the traditional East-West formulas aren’t functioning sufficiently enough for us. In this situation, the development and launch of a regional, non-confrontational policy and the clarification of Armenia’s place and role in the future architecture of the region is becoming of vital importance for us,” Pashinyan said at a press conference.

He said that the threats coming from the geopolitical instability are visible and real for Armenia.

The Armenian PM said that none of Armenia’s neighbors have confrontational relations with one another and that problems are resolved through cooperation. Pashinyan said that signing a peace treaty with Azerbaijan and normalizing ties with Turkey is a necessity, with the perception that Armenia’s relations with Iran and Georgia are developing normally, and must continue doing so.

Pashinyan said his administration remains committed to the peace agenda.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
