Bulgarian President Iliana Iotova and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a Joint Declaration on Strategic Partnership in Yerevan on Sunday, according to the presidential press service. Both sides expressed expectations that Bulgaria’s next government will push bilateral cooperation more actively, pointing to unused potential across several sectors.

The two leaders highlighted what they described as a strong political dialogue and longstanding ties between the Bulgarian and Armenian peoples. They agreed that relations could be significantly expanded, particularly in economy, energy, security, and defense. Pashinyan also thanked Bulgaria for supporting the Armenian community, noting conditions that allow it to preserve its identity and cultural life.

Iotova underlined Bulgaria’s readiness, as an EU member for nearly two decades, to share its experience with Armenia on European integration. Discussions also touched on wider geopolitical developments, including the conflicts in Ukraine and Iran and their broader consequences.
