Statement from the ARF-Dashnaktsutyun Bureau

On August 8, 2025, through the mediation of U.S. President Donald Trump, the United States, Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a joint declaration in Washington, D.C., which not only fails to reflect the state and national interests of the Republic of Armenia but is also a blow to Armenia’s sovereignty.

The political course adopted by the ruling administration of the Republic of Armenia, along with its unbalanced decisions, has been undertaken in conditions of secrecy. These trample upon the collective rights and vital interests of the Armenian people, create new security challenges and threats, undermine the military-political balance in the region, and jeopardize the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia—calling into question the very existence of the Armenian statehood.
