2026 election results to predetermine results of peace process with  Azerbaijan - Nikol Pashinyan 

ArmInfo.  Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan links the future of Armenia's sovereignty and peace with Azerbaijan to the vote of the country's citizens in the upcoming June 2026 elections. He made this statement on October 27 at budget hearings in parliament.  According to Pashinyan, Yerevan is currently working intensively to implement the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) project. The project has numerous nuances, but the Prime Minister is confident that they will be  discussed and resolved as soon as possible.

Today, Pashinyan confidently states that peace between Armenia and  Azerbaijan is a fact. However, peace requires daily attention, as it  is a completely unfamiliar phenomenon for independent Armenia, he  added.  2026 will be a decisive year for the peace process. "The next  parliamentary elections will be held in June, and they will  essentially answer one key question: the people of Armenia must  choose to become masters of the world," he said. Otherwise, Armenia  will return to the logic of an outpost, he assured.

As a reminder, on August 8, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan  and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a joint "Declaration of  Peace" in Washington. It includes a joint appeal to the Organization  for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to terminate the OSCE  Minsk Process and related structures, as well as the creation of a  transport corridor through Armenian territory that will connect  Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan exclave. The TRIPP (Trump Route for  International Peace and Prosperity) project, a 42-kilometer road in  southern Armenia whose management will be entrusted to the United  States for a period of 99 years, is believed by experts to have the  potential to significantly change the geopolitical situation in the  South Caucasus.
