MP: Armenia is ready to build a future where borders are not  obstacles, but gateways to cooperation

ArmInfo. Armenia is ready to build a future where borders are not obstacles, but gateways to cooperation, as stated by Hasmik Hakobyan, a member of the  National Assembly, during her address at the Inter-Parliamentary  Union Assembly.

According to her statement, as quoted by the NA press service,  Armenia is moving toward a new era of stability. "On August 8, 2025,  we turned a historic page. The Joint Declaration signed with  Azerbaijan was more than just a milestone.  It was a commitment to  mutual sovereignty grounded in the 1991 Alma-Ata Declaration. Today,  for the first time in decades, we have seen nearly two years without  victims along our borders. The silence of the guns is our most  powerful message of hope. Hope becomes strong when it brings real  benefits. Hope becomes lasting when it delivers real benefits.  Through the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity  (TRIPP) project, we are transforming the South Caucasus into a hub of  connectivity. Last November, a cargo train from Azerbaijan reached  Armenia via Georgia for the first time since 1991. We are also ready  to facilitate transit between Azerbaijan and Turkiye, believing that  interdependence is the best antidote to animosity.

My Government has embraced the vision of the "Real Armenia"-a state  anchored within its internationally recognized borders. By choosing  diplomacy, we have also secured the return of our citizens from  captivity.

As we approach our parliamentary elections to be held in June 2026,  our goal is to make peace and democracy irreversible. We have learned  that our destinies are interconnected; if we do not safeguard our  peace, no one else will. Armenia stands ready to build a future where  borders are not barriers, but gateways to cooperation."
