The Armenian government has approved the charter of the Gaza Peace Council without discussion, with plans to submit the document to the Milli Majlis (National Assembly) for final ratification.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the decision was outlined in an official decree by the Armenian government regarding the international initiative.
The Armenian Ministry of Justice stated that the charter of the Peace Council does not contain provisions contradicting existing national legislation or requiring additional legal amendments. Consequently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has deemed it appropriate for the Milli Majlis (National Assembly) to approve the document. Armenia is among 19 countries that signed the charter on January 22 during the World Economic Forum in Davos. While Armenia is a founding member of the council—an initiative spearheaded by US President Donald Trump—it does not hold permanent member status, which carries a $1 billion membership fee. The MFA clarified that Armenia joined under a condition allowing participation without mandatory fees for up to three years.
The Gaza Peace Council was established to ensure regional stability and develop best practices for peace settlements in accordance with the principles of international law. The initiative gained significant momentum during the Davos summit, where global leaders discussed frameworks for long-term security and reconstruction. The council serves as a multilateral platform intended to coordinate humanitarian efforts and diplomatic mediation, reflecting a strategic shift in international involvement in the region's peace process under the administration of US President Donald Trump.
