He also expressed support for the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, stating that these positive developments create a very good foundation for all of us to work together to ensure stability in our region and maintain peace.
The Armenian Prime Minister provided updates on the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, a transit project intended to connect parts of Azerbaijan through Armenian territory. He expressed gratitude for Georgia's support in these negotiations and discussed Armenia's broader diplomatic relations with Turkey and Russia.
Pashinyan also addressed the importance of the European Union, stating that Georgia is a very important partner for Armenia in that context.
