The country’s political life should not turn into a platform for geopolitical confrontation.

Gagik Tsarukyan, leader of “Prosperous Armenia” party, made a statement.

Today I would like to present some key principles of our pre-election program, as well as our vision for the future of Armenia, as an invitation to an open and meaningful dialogue with our international partners and the diplomatic corps accredited in Armenia.

1. The upcoming political processes and elections are not a geopolitical choice between power centers. This is a competition of ideas, programs and approaches to the development of the state, which should take place within the framework of constitutional and democratic procedures. The political life of the country should not turn into a platform for geopolitical confrontation.

2. All internal changes must be implemented through constitutional procedures. We are convinced that strengthening the legitimacy and predictability of political processes is the basis of the state’s stability and public trust.

3. In the near future, we will present our concept of foreign policy, which will clearly show how Armenia will restore balance, reliability and stability in relations with partners.

4. Our foreign policy strategy is based on the principle of restoring strategic and predictable balance. Armenia will build partnership relations with all major international actors: Russia, the United States, the EU, China, India, as well as neighboring states. For us, this is a systemic strategy to strengthen credibility and predictability in international relations.

5. Armenia should become a country open to investments, infrastructure projects and new opportunities. We see a special potential in the development of regional transport hubs and communication channels, which can strengthen Armenia’s role as a link connecting economic areas. At the same time, it is necessary to develop the technological economy, to support innovations, the development of digital infrastructures and new sectors. Investments, infrastructure projects and technological development not only provide economic growth, but are also the basis of long-term stability and regional influence.

6. Continuous and constructive dialogue with international partners makes it possible to combine foreign policy, economic strategy and institutional development into one complete, interconnected vision.

7. The issue of security and peace has deep historical foundations for the Armenian people. Our primary goal is to establish a guaranteed and just peace.

8. Armenians in different countries of the world have always made an important contribution to the development of their countries of residence. Today, we propose an approach that considers the potential of the Diaspora not only as a resource, but as a factor in expanding Armenia’s strategic depth. We are planning the involvement of the Diaspora in economic, technological, scientific and cultural projects, which will strengthen Armenia’s stability and role in the international arena. Our task is to create a modern network system of cooperation of Armenians living all over the world. We are convinced that Armenia can become a natural bridge between different countries and regions, using the global presence of the Armenian people as a tool of strategic depth.

Today, my team includes specialists who have experience in state management and international cooperation, professionals who can make balanced decisions for the development of the country and the protection of the interests of the people.

Our goal is to build a stable, safe and developing Armenia. A state that strengthens its institutions, whose foreign policy restores strategic balance and fully reveals the potential of its people.

We see Armenia as a country that connects regions and creates opportunities for cooperation.
