Armenian premier hopes foreign embassies will stop warning against  visiting Armenia`s border regions 

ArmInfo. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan hopes that embassies operating in Armenia will stop notifying their citizens to refrain from visiting the  republic's border regions. Pashinyan stated this at a government  meeting on February 12.

"Mr. Mirzoyan (Foreign Minister - ed.), we need to work with these  embassies to ensure they don't continue to do this out of inertia,"  Pashinyan said.

The prime minister noted that in previous years, embassies of a  number of countries periodically notified their citizens to avoid  visiting border areas, particularly the Syunik region. He did not  specify which embassies he was referring to, but such messages are  most often issued by diplomatic missions of Western countries.

According to him, Armenia has long been ranked in various  international rankings as a safe country in terms of domestic  security and crime. He emphasized that a decline in crime was  recorded in Armenia in 2025. Furthermore, the country has achieved  peace and economic growth. All of this should contribute, and is  already contributing, to an increase in tourist influx to Armenia,  Nikol Pashinyan concluded.
