Nikol Pashinyan emphasized that protecting human rights, establishing an independent judicial system, the fight against corruption, and ensuring transparency are priorities on the Government’s daily work agenda, and our country is moving forward on the way to set a high bar. Tabea Rößner also added that Germany would accompany Armenia on that path. Issues related to the promotion of women’s involvement and cooperation in the fields of renewable energy and the environment were also discussed.
The parties exchanged ideas on the regional situation, security challenges, and peace agenda. In this context, the Prime Minister highlighted the role of the long-term observation mission of the EU.
