Pashinyan assessed the prospects for peace with Azerbaijan and relations with Turkey
Speaking at the International Forum "Building Peace and Multilateral Cooperation" in Yerevan, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that the potential return of Armenians who fled Nagorno-Karabakh could pose a threat to the peace established between Armenia and Azerbaijan. He emphasized that this issue could lead to the original parameters of the conflict.
"I consider the agenda of the return of our displaced sisters and brothers from Nagorno-Karabakh a risk to peace. And I also said that this issue... is generally dangerous, since it means a return to the original parameters of the conflict," the Armenian leader said.
He also noted the positive dynamics in relations between Armenia and Turkey, announcing an invitation to President Erdogan to the European Political Community summit in Yerevan in 2026.
The Prime Minister also touched on the EU monitoring mission, citing the possibility of changing its format following the conclusion of a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan. He noted that partnership discussions on this issue are underway with the European Union.
