Armenia invotes Azerbaijan to way to peaceful and prosperous future 

ArmInfo. Armenia, together with its partners, is working to build a more just, peaceful and prosperous world. This was stated by Vice-Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Hakob Arshakyan at the 150th  Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union. 

According to him, today the members of the Union are united in  solving urgent problems that various states are facing. "All over the  world, we are facing complex problems that threaten our future if we  remain indifferent. We have gathered here to take part in important  discussions about the future we want to build, based on justice,  equality and, above all, peace. Armenia believes that true  development is more than economic growth. We are discussing the  creation of systems that will ensure social protection, equal  opportunities and dignity of citizens," the Vice-Speaker said.

He added that Armenia is making every effort to meet the needs of  vulnerable groups, striving to ensure that health, education and  security are not a privilege for the few, but a right for all.

"We also pay attention to social inclusion, ensuring that everyone,  regardless of gender, ethnicity or background, has access to  opportunities. Armenia has increased social protection spending by  14.9% this year compared to 2024. It is through such actions that we  strengthen democracy and build a stronger society. We know that peace  is a long and sometimes difficult process, and every effort to  resolve it is worth it. In this context, we have recently taken a  significant step.

Armenia confirms that the draft peace treaty with Azerbaijan has been  approved by the parties and the negotiations have been successfully  concluded. The peace document is ready for signing, and Yerevan is  ready to take this historic step. We invite Azerbaijan to join us in  this important step towards a peaceful and prosperous future for our  two peoples," the Vice Speaker of the National Assembly of the  Republic of Armenia noted.
