АрмИнфо. Премьер-министр РА Никол Пашинян удостоен Гессенской премии мира. Об этом сообщила пресс-секретарь премьера Мелания Арутюнян, разместившая на своей странице фотограцию с церемонии награждения.

Премия подчеркивает непрерывные усилия 51-летнего политика по созданию демократических институтов в стране и сближению ее с Европейским Союзом.  Будучи одним из лидеров Бархатной революции 2018 года, он проложил путь к парламентским выборам и с тех пор, будучи премьер-министром, ведет страну по пути к миру и интеграции в Европу. В то же время, при поддержке Соединенных Штатов, ему удалось принять совместную декларацию о мире с президентом соседнего Азербайджана в августе 2025 года, а также подписать соглашение "Об установлении мира и межгосударственных отношений между Республикой Армения и Азербайджанской  Республикой".

Премия в размере 25 000 евро присуждается Фондом Альберта Освальда с 1994 года. Цель премии - отметить усилия по прекращению войн, насилия или конфликтов, связанных с угрозой насилия, превентивные меры, разработку стратегий предотвращения насильственных конфликтов и вклад в взаимопонимание между народами.  Премия была учреждена бывшим премьер- министром Гессена Альбертом Освальдом (Социал-демократическая партия Германии, СДПГ) и его семьей. В состав попечительского совета входят представители ведущих немецких научноисследовательских институтов, занимающихся изучением мира, которые консультируют по вопросам присуждения премии мира.
