Pashinyan Emphasizes Faith and Peace at Armenia Prayer Breakfast

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan addressed Armenia's second Prayer Breakfast, an international event bringing together government officials, diplomats, business leaders, and religious figures. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Riley Barnes and chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom Asif Mahmood were among attendees.

Pashinyan reflected on his February 2024 visit to the U.S. National Prayer Breakfast, recalling an unplanned meeting with then-Vice President J.D. Vance. He said he told American officials that while he could not predict peace prospects, he believes in peace. The Prime Minister credited President Donald Trump's personal involvement as crucial to regional peace efforts.

Pashinyan emphasized the importance of maintaining faith and hope amid challenges, stating that losing hope equates to losing faith in God. He concluded his remarks with Psalm 29.
