Pashinyan responds to Kocharyan’s remarks“The knowledge and views of Kocharyan, Armenia’s former president, about the regional and international situation are hopelessly outdated,” Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at a briefing. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan described these claims as the result of “outdated views”. He focused in particular on Kocharyan’s assertion that the United States has no “economic interests” in the project. President Vahagn Khachaturyan thanked Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for what he described as their “political will”. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that on 8 August 2025 three memorandums were signed in Washington.
