According to him, several business delegations are working on this matter. However, Pashinyan noted, Yerevan will not enter into conflict with Moscow; all issues will be resolved peacefully. "I have leverage; I'll go and solve these problems," the prime minister said.
He also noted that Armenia is becoming a hub for modern technology and artificial intelligence, emphasizing that programs implemented in recent years are already yielding tangible results. Pashinyan touched on the three memorandums of understanding signed with US President Donald Trump on August 8, 2025, one of which concerned cooperation in artificial intelligence. According to the prime minister, there was criticism at the time regarding the lack of practical significance of the signed documents.
"What did they say? They said it was a piece of paper, void of legal force, meaningless, a meaningless document signed for PR purposes," he noted. However, according to the prime minister, concrete results have already been recorded over the past period. "What do we see today? Less than a year has passed, and we already have an artificial intelligence center at Yerevan State University, and the first artificial intelligence factory has already been opened in Gagarin." "Gegharkunik region," Pashinyan said.
According to him, progress in technology is also linked to state policy aimed at scientific development. Pashinyan recalled that science funding has increased significantly in recent years, and salaries in the scientific field have risen. He emphasized that the state has also invested in the development of the military-industrial complex, noting that these steps have contributed to the creation and application of new technologies. He noted that today, Armenian military-industrial companies are already exporting products and weapons to developed countries.
The prime minister also noted that during the military parade held on May 28 in Republic Square, both modern weapons produced in various countries and several weapons manufactured in Armenia were on display, further demonstrating the country's growing technological potential.
