Speaker of Parliament Alen Simonyan lauded U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Armenia, describing it as a historic event that opens new opportunities for the country.
“Congratulations to all of us on the agreements reached, the historic visit, and the opportunities that have opened up for Armenia. I don’t want to single anything out, but I must say that this is about the overall strengthening of the Republic of Armenia’s security and the agenda we are implementing. In other words, this is about peace—not just for one or two years, but for decades,” the Speaker said at a press briefing.
In response to a journalist’s question about whether there have been any tangible results regarding the Armenian captives held in Azerbaijan, Simonyan replied that the strategy on this issue has not changed.
“You often ask me this question. We say that we do not discuss it publicly, and the work is being done. Nothing in that strategy has changed,” he emphasized.
The Speaker added that issues related to the fate of captives and the missing, as well as all other related matters, are constantly being discussed.
