While in the U.S., Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met with representatives of the local Armenian community at the Armenian Embassy. He shared a short video on his Facebook page, stating that Armenia is not a tool to achieve other objectives but the goal itself.

"The Republic of Armenia is the highest goal, and there can be no higher national purpose than the Republic of Armenia. Armenia is not a means to an end—it is the ultimate goal," Pashinyan wrote.

According to the Prime Minister’s Office, Pashinyan addressed a range of questions from attendees during the meeting.

He spoke about ongoing developments in and around Armenia, ideological shifts in the country, and the "Real Armenia" concept. He also discussed balanced foreign policy, Armenia’s internal and external challenges, and government strategies to address them.

On February 1, Nikol Pashinyan and his wife, Anna Hakobyan, traveled to the U.S. to attend the 5th annual International Religious Freedom Summit and the National Prayer Breakfast.
