Pashinyan: Peace with Azerbaijan boosts economy

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on June 16 that the peace process with Azerbaijan has entered a new phase, boosting the economy. He cited stronger fiscal revenues, rising investment, and demographic shifts as direct results of the 2025 peace accord. Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed on a draft peace deal in 2025, followed by a US-hosted signing ceremony in Washington in August, which Armenian officials say has begun to unlock investment and trade flows.
