Secretary of Armenia’s Security Council Armen Grigoryan said Yerevan is now focused on institutionalizing the peace established with Azerbaijan.

Speaking at a panel discussion at the Delphi Economic Forum in Greece, Grigoryan referred to the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, particularly the declaration signed in Washington on August 8, 2025.

He stressed that Armenia remains committed to peace, noting that while peace does not eliminate challenges, it allows countries to better address them.

“Given the developments in our region, including the peace established between Armenia and Azerbaijan following the 2025 Washington summit, we are now focused on institutionalizing that peace,” Grigoryan said.

According to him, while “there is real peace now,” ensuring its long-term sustainability requires concrete steps.

“By institutionalizing, we mean signing and ratifying a peace treaty, as well as unblocking regional connections,” he noted.

Grigoryan also highlighted the growing global emphasis on interconnectedness, stressing the importance of advancing it in the South Caucasus.

Describing the current situation, he said peace in the region “is like a newborn baby that needs care,” emphasizing the need for caution and consistent efforts to advance and solidify the peace process.
