Levon Zurabyan, deputy chairman of the Armenian National Congress party, denounced Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s remarks at the Summit of the Future held on the sidelines of the 79th UN General Assembly in New York on Monday.

“My party adopted the slogan “There is a future” under the conditions when it seemed that there was no hope for optimism in our region,” Pashinyan said in his speech.

“Now this happens globally. And at this Summit of the Future, I want to voice that belief of “there is a future”, and by doing this I want to have my portion of contribution.

“Unlike the previous three times, this year at the General Assembly, I will more concentrate on opportunities rather than accuse neighboring countries in my speech.

“And this will provide room for positive thinking and for talking about the possibilities. Yes, for now let’s only talk, since “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. Therefore, it is necessary to start with the good words. It is necessary to bring forward the slogan “There is a future” as a theorem and to work to prove it. Let's do it," he added.

“The international community breathed a sigh of relief on 23 September after Nikol Pashinyan revealed that “there is a future” at the UN General Assembly summit,” Zurabyan wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.

“On this day, Armenia made a revolution in diplomacy, becoming the first country in history to graciously refuse to engage in politics and defense of its own interests at the UN General Assembly summit, not making a single mention of the country’s name or its problems, but resorting to philosophical meditation, which is exemplary for the whole world,” the politician added.
