Armenia has overcome the agenda of survival and struggle imposed on it and has entered a new historical phase focused on peaceful development, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated during a session of the National Assembly.

According to him, the country’s current mission is to educate, work, and build a stronger state.

Pashinyan expressed gratitude to members of the Civil Contract Party for making an “epoch-making milestone” possible, while emphasizing that the primary credit belongs to the people.

“I would also like to stress that this became possible, first and foremost, thanks to the support of the people,” he noted.

The Prime Minister acknowledged that the current reality has come at a high cost — through numerous victims, sacrifices, hardships, and suffering.

“The phrase ‘Karabakh was ours and is no longer ours’ reflects a philosophy of being trapped geopolitically. The reality is that Armenia was not truly ours and is hence ours. The territories that were under our control were held at the expense of our statehood, sovereignty, and independence – and we failed to fully understand this,” he said.

Pashinyan added that the Civil Contract has ultimately altered the destructive trajectory of Armenia’s history and placed the country on a path toward a more peaceful and constructive future.
