Erdogan expressed confidence that Pashinyan would successfully realize his strategic vision, particularly regarding efforts to establish lasting peace and stability in the region.

“On behalf of my people and personally, I sincerely congratulate you on the success achieved by the Civil Contract party under your leadership in the parliamentary elections held in the Republic of Armenia on June 7, 2026, and wish you success in forming a government for the third time.

I am fully convinced that your strategic vision regarding the establishment of lasting peace and stability in the region, and the provision of the necessary cooperation toward that goal, will be successfully fulfilled.

Taking this opportunity, I once again wish you health and prosperity, and I wish the people of Armenia prosperity and happiness,” the message said.
