Pashinyan praises Trump's peace efforts during Poland visit

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who is in Poland on an official visit, on Wednesday visited the Polish Institute of International Relations and met with foreign ambassadors, diplomats and representatives of think tanks in Poland, the government reported.

Nikol Pashinyan made a speech, touching upon the peace established between Armenia and Azerbaijan. He emphasized that the architecture of peace is based on the 1991 Alma-Ata Declaration and the peace process reached its peak on August 8, with the signing of the joint declaration on the framework for peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan adopted in Washington on the initiative and participation of US President Donald Trump. According to the prime minister, without the participation, personal involvement and initiative of the US president, the peace process would have been uncertain, and it is undeniable that the initiative and participation of the US President played a very important role for peace in the region.

“Now it is very important to emphasize that 2025 was the first year since our independence when there were no border casualties due to gunfire between Armenian and Azerbaijani troops. And now there is real peace in our region,” Pashinyan noted, adding that peace is under construction, which must be taken care of. “That is the main idea that I am trying to convey to our people, that now we have peace, but peace must be strengthened, institutionalized, and for this we need to make continuous efforts, because peace exists, but it cannot be neglected, otherwise it may be destroyed,” he said.
