YEREVAN, JULY 25, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has called for the development of a non-confrontational regional policy and clarification of Armenia’s role in the region’s future architecture amid the tense and unstable international geopolitical situation.

“The geopolitical impacts in our region have reduced due to the events in Ukraine and the traditional East-West formulas aren’t functioning sufficiently enough for us. In this situation, the development and launch of a regional, non-confrontational policy and the clarification of Armenia’s place and role in the future architecture of the region is becoming of vital importance for us,” Pashinyan said at a press conference.

He said that the threats coming from the geopolitical instability are visible and real for Armenia.

The Armenian PM said that none of Armenia’s neighbors have confrontational relations with one another and that problems are resolved through cooperation. Pashinyan said that signing a peace treaty with Azerbaijan and normalizing ties with Turkey is a necessity, with the perception that Armenia’s relations with Iran and Georgia are developing normally, and must continue doing so.

Pashinyan said his administration remains committed to the peace agenda.
