“In recent years, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s vision regarding Armenia is very impressive,” said French President Emmanuel Macron during his speech at the 8th summit of the European Political Community.
“Let us be honest: 8 years ago, no one would have come here. The fact that we have so many first visits to your country is truly a good indicator, because 8 years ago this country was seen by many countries sitting at the table as a de facto satellite of Russia.
Nikol Pashinyan organized the Velvet Revolution, and it decided to de-risk the country and succeeded in doing so. It decided that peace and Europe are primary aspirations. And the resistance that exists in Ukraine, Armenia’s strategy, what was done in Moldova, as well as many other countries sitting at this table, show that we, as Europeans, have decided over the past few years to sound a wake-up call for a collective awakening.
Strategic autonomy is precisely aimed against such a major force,” Macron said.
