Pashinyan says he discussed issue of captives’ return with US deputy secretary of state: Highlights from press briefing

After the Cabinet meeting, Nikol Pashinyan answered questions from journalists. The key points are presented below:

  • Apart from what we refer to as the “Crossroads of Peace” and, in parallel, the TRIPP project resulting from the signing of the Washington Declaration, no other form of communication exists under a different name in Armenia. Any other terminology has nothing to do with Armenia.
  • I thank President Trump; the investment program by Firebird is being implemented in Armenia following the meeting held on Aug. 8 in Washington.
  • I met with the U.S. deputy secretary of state and specifically addressed the issue of the return of captives. I presented what we are doing at the bilateral level regarding this matter. I requested information on what efforts the U.S. is making in this direction and asked that this issue be kept in focus.
  • The process of liberating the Mother See has begun, is under way, and will inevitably reach its conclusion.
