Title Armenia's FM hails peace, embraces future: EU, elections, trade, 'huge' infrastructure projects Source France 24 - World News
Description Ahead of the Armenia-EU summit, joining us from Armenia’s newly inaugurated embassy in Paris, France 24's François Picard welcomes Armenia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ararat Mirzoyan, who presents a country at a pivotal juncture: one defined by the simultaneous consolidation of peace and strategic repositioning. He asserts that “we now have peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan,” framing it not as a symbolic declaration but as an emerging reality, further underscored by the intention to “institutionalise this peace.” Mirzoyan situates this development within a broader historical shift. In his account, Armenia’s future lies in connectivity, supported by ambitious plans for “huge infrastructure - railways, electricity grids, oil and gas pipelines” - positioning the country as “a critical chain in the Middle Corridor” linking Europe and Asia.
