Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Wednesday said Armenia welcomes the “crucial decision” between the United States and Iran to cease all hostilities.
“Armenia welcomes the crucial decision between US & Iran to cease all hostilities. We also commend the mediation efforts, including those of Pakistan & firmly believe that diplomacy should prevail to resolve all outstanding issues & preserve peace in the Middle East,” Pashinyan said in a statement on X.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced the agreement late on Tuesday, just two hours before a deadline he had set for Iran to open the blockaded Strait of Hormuz or face the destruction of its “whole civilisation”.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said he had invited Iranian and U.S. delegations to meet in Islamabad on Friday for talks.
