"These roots are so strongly intertwined that we are obliged to build a strong, happy and free future in our history."

"Today Armenia is like that, and it will remain so forever, because the material can be broken, destroyed, and what is connected with the mind and spirit is irresistible and unbreakable, and I want this spirit, and not the mercantile calculation, to be present in the Armenian-Georgian We should build relations with our brotherly country in this spirit, and our peoples must win new victories and create joint happiness in a peaceful, free and happy region, and this region should become such," Pashinyan said.
