Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that citizens in Armenia feel a greater sense of peace than the government had expected, linking this perception to stability in the country and improvements in social and economic conditions.
“Citizens primarily feel peace on a psychological and emotional level, because there is calm in the country. The tension, strain, and intensity that we used to feel have now been replaced by a sense of tranquility, and I believe people also intuitively understand that the health insurance system, pension increases, and other measures are not directly, but indirectly, linked to peace,” the prime minister said in parliament during the debates on his administration’s 2025 report.
Pashinyan emphasized that if there were no confidence in peace and the government were expecting new escalations, it would not allocate such substantial resources to social sectors.
“Peace has created the conditions for economic growth. Citizens feel peace more strongly than we even expected,” Pashinyan said.
