The PAP Editor-in-Chief spoke about the significance of the partnership.

“We are very pleased that the bilateral cooperation between the PAP National Agency and the Armenpress News Agency has been officially established. I firmly believe that our agencies are an important part of the global news system. Now, more than ever, we are responsible for the reliability of facts and for strengthening social and national resilience against disinformation. Cooperation between professional and reliable sources in the exchange of information will make Armenian and Polish societies more stable and stronger.
Once again, we thank you — our friends at Armenpress — for making this possible. Let us work together and unite our efforts in the name of journalistic objectivity and impartiality,” Wojciech Tumidalski said.

For her part, Nazaryan highlighted that both Armenpress and PAP were founded in 1918, describing their shared history, values, and heritage as the best foundation for launching a new era of partnership.

“Our journey so far is a testament to the fact that we have honorably withstood the test of time — we are resilient, adaptable, and determined in our mission to inform society. I am sure that this document will open a new field of partnership, serve as a foundation for joint innovative projects, and help our peoples better understand one another,” Narine Nazaryan said, expressing gratitude to the partners at PAP for their trust and readiness to cooperate.
