Crossroads of Peace project can create economic prerequisites for security and stability – PM

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 12, ARMENPRESS. Armenia’s Crossroads of Peace project can be highly successful for the region by creating economic prerequisites for security and stability, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said.
“This project can be highly successful for the region by creating economic prerequisites for security and stability. I believe that there can’t be security and stability in an environment lacking economic prerequisites,” Pashinyan said at a conference on the Crossroads of Peace project.
A reality where by saying “security” people think only of the military means there is no security, he added.
“No doubts, the army has a key role in ensuring security, however the army’s role in ensuring security is neither primary nor secondary. If it is the first or the second it would mean that the security system is completely undermined. With this logic it seems that this project is first of all about ensuring security, and subsequently about ensuring prosperity,” PM Pashinyan said.
