Diplomatic work underway to establish relations with Pakistan – says Armenian PM

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 24, ARMENPRESS. Armenia wants and tries to establish good-neighborly and friendly relations with all countries, PM Pashinyan has said.

The Prime Minister was asked at an online press conference by a member of the public on the possibilities of establishing relations with Pakistan.

“It is our logic, and we also have a constitutional regulation, that the Republic of Armenia will attempt to, and wants to, establish friendly relations with all countries in the world. I assume that certain diplomatic work is being made in that direction too, not on the high level, and will continue to be done. And the processes of the past thirty years are clear, they haven’t recognized our independence, and diplomatic relations haven’t been established. We must understand the reasons of this and how to make progress in this situation, which isn’t easy. When we succeed to sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan, that situation will also become an argument which would help to establish diplomatic relations including with Pakistan,” Pashinyan said.
