ArmInfo. "In our region, the security and stability systems have been deformed or are deforming," RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said during a government hour in  the RA National Assembly on May 3, giving an assessment of the  strategic situation around Armenia and Artsakh.

According to him, this means that Armenia and the Armenian people are  facing new security challenges.  The system, which was supposed to  ensure security and stability in the region from the beginning, is  currently not working at a proper level with all its effectiveness.  In this vein, Pashinyan pointed out the importance of solving the  problem of a deformed security system in order to be able to manage  the existing challenges. The question is how and by what methods it  is possible to correct the situation. It is necessary to build up the  security system with new components in the overall security  architecture, which is an approach, but not a fact, that in this way  strategic security and stability in the region will be ensured. New  components can help manage some risks, but they can also raise new  risks.

Pashinyan stressed that security and stability in the region can only  be ensured through a comprehensive peace, the achievement of which is  quite possible. But for that, it is necessary to show political will  and detail the parameters for achieving peace. "Obviously, we have  the political will to achieve peace, the question is how much we will  be able to form such parameters of peace in the negotiation process  that can be acceptable for the Republic of Armenia and for the people  of the Republic of Armenia," the RA Prime Minister emphasized.

The prime minister emphasized that efforts of all parties are needed  to achieve the set goal. "Since we still do not have a lasting peace,  it can only mean one thing: one of the parties is not making  sufficient efforts for that," the RA Prime Minister stressed.
