On November 12, within the framework of his visit to Denmark, Armenia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan visited the Danish Institute for Parties and Democracy (DIPD), where he held an extensive discussion with representatives of Denmark’s civil society.
Minister Mirzoyan presented Armenia’s foreign policy priorities, emphasizing that Armenia is a young democracy firmly committed to advancing democratic values and protecting human rights.
“Armenia is a democracy — a young one, but with a strong commitment to the consistent promotion of democratic values and the protection of human rights. We are deeply interested in developing partnerships with like-minded democracies,” Mirzoyan said.
The Foreign Minister highlighted the essential role of civil society in both democratic development and peacebuilding, noting its potential to contribute meaningfully to regional stability.
Speaking about peace in the South Caucasus, Mirzoyan underscored the importance of the trilateral declaration signed in Washington on August 8 with the involvement of the U.S. President, describing it as a significant milestone, including the pre-signing of the Armenia–Azerbaijan Peace Agreement, aimed at promoting stability and connectivity in the South Caucasus and beyond.
In this context, Mirzoyan outlined Armenia’s vision for the unblocking of regional communications, highlighting the practical importance of the “Crossroads of Peace” initiative and its component project, the “Trump Route.”
The discussion also touched upon ongoing humanitarian efforts and the deepening partnership between Armenia and the European Union, which Mirzoyan described as dynamic and ambitious. Both sides exchanged views on strengthening the resilience of democracies, sharing experiences and tools for countering hybrid threats.
The Minister also answered a number of questions from Danish experts.
