ArmInfo.Anna Hakobyan, the wife of the RA Prime Minister, the chief editor of the Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper, at the invitation of the Speaker of the Senate of the  Parliament of Kazakhstan, and the Chair of the Eurasian Media Forum  Organizing Committee Dariga Nazarbayeva participated in the Eurasian  Media Forum held in Almaty on May 23-24.  

According to the press service of Hakobyan, the spouse of the Armenian Prime Minister during her speech at the panel session "Confidence Crisis: Deployment of  Global Forces" touched on conflicts in different parts of the world  and the problem of military actions, noting the need to overcome the  centuries-old distrust of each other.

Hakobyan expressed the conviction that today relations between states  are built more on distrust than trust.  As an example, she cited the  relationship between the United States and Iran. "If relations  between Iran and the United States were built on trust, we would not  face the threat of a new destructive war today. If there was a little  more trust between the US and Russia, then not only people living in  these two countries would benefit from this, but also in dozens of  countries around the world, we would not have new hotbeds of war and  would have successfully stopped already flared points of conflicts,  for example, in Syria, "she said, adding that the best way out would  be to build an atmosphere of trust .  In this regard, Hakobyan  brought as an example of building trust the "Women for Peace"  movement, aimed at making women's voices more heard and attaining  peace in Artsakh, by involving all parties to the conflict in the  peace process.  To the remark of the Azerbaijani representative that  while Hakobyan talks about peace, her son serves in Artsakh, and her  husband, the Prime Minister of Armenia dances in Nagorno-Karabakh,  Pashinyan's wife retorted that the war has not ended, and the  conflict continues. "Yes, the war in Artsakh has not ended, and it is  for this reason that my son serves there. But I am here to promote  peace," Hakobyan summed up.  To note, the 16th Eurasian Media Forum  started in Almaty yesterday. Currently, the forum attracts more than  500 delegates from 60 countries. The tagline of the forum this year  is "The world today is a discussion of the process of  de-globalization, the crisis of consumption, the digitalization of  the media sphere, as well as the development opportunities and  challenges associated with new technologies and artificial  intelligence. Armenian President Armen Sarkissian also takes part in  the Forum.
