Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said that Armenia, as a founding member of the Board of Peace, should make its share of financial contributions to the international body, Armenpress reports.
Speaking at a press briefing after a Cabinet meeting where a bill on ratifying the Board of Peace Charter was approved, Pashinyan told reporters that it does not envisage financial obligations for the country and is based on a voluntary principle.
“We should contribute to the extent we can. Armenia has no obligations, but I believe we should participate—and we will participate,” the prime minister said.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed the Board of Peace Charter alongside other world leaders in Davos, Switzerland, on January 22.
Pashinyan was invited to sign the charter as a founding member by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The bill on ratifying the Board of Peace Charter will now be sent to parliament.
The charter has also been signed by a number of other countries, including the United States, Azerbaijan, Argentina, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Qatar, and Türkiye.
Recall that the Board of Peace was established in 2026 under the chairmanship of U.S. President Donald Trump. It is stated on the organization’s website that the Board of Peace aims to promote stability in areas affected by or threatened by conflict, restore reliable and legitimate governance, and ensure lasting peace.
