ArmInfo. A discussion with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan took place in Brussels at the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee.

According to the Armenian Foreign Ministry's press service, Mirzoyan  delivered a speech, followed by a question-and-answer session with  members of parliament. The discussion was moderated by Committee  Chairman David McAllister and was attended by members of most  political factions, including the Head of the Delegation for  Relations with the South Caucasus, the Co-Chair of the Euronest  Parliamentary Assembly, and the Rapporteur on Armenia.

Mirzoyan presented significant changes since the previous meeting in  this format, in particular the establishment of peace and the  development of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

The implementation of the agreements reached to unblock regional  communications and existing achievements were discussed in detail.  The importance of ensuring an inclusive transport and economic  connectivity network was emphasized. Speaking about Armenia's  ambitious democratic reform program, Mirzoyan noted that the choice  is between sovereign democracy and an authoritarian path leading to  subjugation, and Yerevan has already made its choice.

The Armenian Foreign Minister answered questions regarding  international and regional developments, hybrid threats, and efforts  to effectively counter them. The MEPs praised the Republic of  Armenia's commitment and role in advancing the peace agenda and  democratic reforms.
