Pashinyan outlines vision for Armenia in the next decade

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has outlined his vision for Armenia 10–15 years from now, describing it as a peaceful, sovereign, and economically stronger state.

Asked at a press briefing to share his vision of the country over the next decade or more, he said: “I envision a peaceful, sovereign Armenia. I envision a peace agreement with Azerbaijan signed and ratified, border delimitation completed, and the roads reopened. Fifteen years from now, I envision our gross domestic product at least doubled in real terms.”

“In other words, we will be a democratic, free, independent, and prosperous state, which, so to speak, will be a crossroads of peace,” Pashinyan added, referring to his administration’s eponymous flagship project, designed to connect the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Mediterranean through a consolidated regional railway network along the North–South and East–West routes, which also includes the TRIPP project.
