Our lives, our routines, our speech, and our reality have become so deeply infused with conflict and war that we now face the need to manage even the risk of a clash between our current reality and peace,” said Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in an address to the nation.
“This is a delicate, extremely delicate, socio-psychological, public, political, administrative, and economic task that must be carried out together: each of us in our place, to the extent that we can, but all together, as a people, as a whole.”
“Peace must bring comfort to parents who have lost sons, to women who have lost husbands, and to children who have lost their parents. Peace must shine a light on the souls of our martyrs, because here is Armenia, becoming a more and more respected actor in international affairs, a country that is more independent, more sovereign, and more confident. This is the purpose for which our brothers and sisters gave their lives,” Pashinyan said.
“We must overcome the grief of their sacrifice with the joy of peace.”
“The most common phrase or question in our reality: ‘It will be good’ or ‘Will it be good?’, must now become a thing of the past. Because ‘It will be good’ is being replaced by ‘It is good’, a goodness expressed through peace,” the Prime Minister concluded.
