Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has indicated that he sees no need for “guarantors” of the peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan established under U.S. mediation on August 8, 2025.
He made the remarks during a meeting with representatives of the Armenian community in Poland.
“There is a lot of talk about the peace agreed upon with Azerbaijan, with suggestions that there should be at least one and more guarantors, and so on and so forth. In my opinion, this is a result of our old way of thinking, because we forget that we have had a de jure, formally recognized security guarantor. When faced with regional challenges, our primary reaction has roughly been the following: whom should we call? That has been our first, second, third, and fourth reaction. But at a certain point, we realized that this was the wrong approach.
The main political change that has taken place in our country is that we have understood that the problem is ours, and we are the owners of our problem. Therefore, it is our responsibility to solve it. And we have gone and solved our problems, including by doubling our own pain — sometimes tripling it, sometimes quintupling it, sometimes increasing it tenfold — because we have realized that the pain is ours and we must heal it, since that pain does not hurt anyone else; it hurts us.Therefore, our perception is that we are our own guarantor — through our ability to understand the world, the situation, and our problem, and through our ability to find solutions to it,” the Prime Minister said.
