The Armenian government has unveiled its strategic program for 2026-2031, outlining plans to formalize peace with Azerbaijan, normalize relations with Turkey, and deepen cooperation with international partners, including the European Union, the United States, Iran, Georgia, and Russia.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing Armenian media, these objectives were detailed in a government program presented by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during a recent cabinet meeting. The foreign policy section of the document emphasizes the government's commitment to the delimitation of the border with Azerbaijan and the institutionalization of peace, which includes the signing of a comprehensive peace treaty and other legal instruments. Furthermore, the program highlights the necessity of fostering active engagement between the civil societies and business communities of both nations.
In addition to regional normalization, the Armenian government expressed its intention to establish full diplomatic relations with Turkey. This includes opening the border with at least two modern checkpoints—noting that the Margara checkpoint in the Armavir region is already prepared—and revitalizing shared energy infrastructure. These steps are part of a broader effort to integrate Armenia into regional economic frameworks and stabilize the South Caucasus, a region that has long been impacted by the legacy of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
