The "Real Armenia" ideology has become official, and now it is about  creating a Fourth Republic - Nikol Pashinyan

ArmInfo.  The ideology of "Real Armenia" emerged victorious in the parliamentary elections held on June 7, as stated by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at a  government meeting on August 20, when presenting the Cabinet's  program for 2026-2031.

According to him, the elections essentially demonstrated that this  ideology has become official. Pashinyan noted that he first began  speaking about this ideology in 2024, and the ruling Civil Contract  Party and its government shared it. Now, as the prime minister  emphasized, the people, with their votes in the elections, have also  said "yes" to this ideology. Based on this, as Pashinyan noted,  another point noted in the government's program should be  consolidated: the transition to the Fourth Republic. The Prime  Minister recalled that this was discussed at the 7th Congress of the  ruling party, where a corresponding declaration was adopted.

The head of government, pointing out the difference between the Third  and Fourth Republics, emphasized that the Third Republic was created  within the logic of conflict and confrontation, while the Fourth  Republic is being formed within the logic of a peaceful agenda and  peace. "The 1990 Declaration stated that the primary function of the  Third Republic was the restoration of historical justice, which was  the basis for certain actions, including the Karabakh movement.  Political figures of the older and middle generations, including  myself, grew up within the context of this movement. Today, we have  introduced a peaceful agenda, which, in turn, has led to the ideology  of 'Real Armenia.' This is a fundamentally important issue," Nikol  Pashinyan emphasized.

He added that the government's new program lacks the logic of the  Karabakh movement. "In recent years, the government has decided to  reread pages that remained closed for many years. This rethinking has  led to the formation of a peace agenda and a real Armenia," the head  of government stated. According to Pashinyan, a corresponding message  has also come from the Armenian public. Under the peace agenda, the  government will transition from crisis management to regular  management, focusing more on strengthening human rights, economic  diplomacy (in connection with this, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs  will be renamed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade),  issues related to the spread of artificial intelligence, and  healthcare issues.

It should be noted that after approval by the government, the Cabinet  of Ministers' program for 2026-2031 will be submitted to parliament  for review and approval.
