Trump congratulates Armenian Prime Minister on election victory
U.S. President Donald Trump congratulated Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on his party's victory in the recent parliamentary elections. Trump described the win as "decisive," noting the importance of this step for the future of democracy in Armenia.
Pashinyan's "Civil Contract" party achieved a major victory in the elections, granting him a new mandate to lead the country. These results follow a period of political tensions and protests in Armenia over the past months, during which Pashinyan sought to confirm his popular legitimacy.
In his message, President Trump noted that this victory came despite significant external pressure, particularly from Russia. The United States considers Pashinyan's success as reinforcing political decision-making independence in the region and reducing dependence on traditional regional powers.
The U.S. administration hopes these results will contribute to achieving stability and economic growth in Armenia. Trump also emphasized Washington's desire to strengthen bilateral cooperation with the new Armenian government in various fields, serving the interests of both countries.
