Dear people, dear citizens of the Republic of Armenia,
Here, the year 2024 is already history. But that history stands out in terms of essence and content. In 2024, the ideology of the Real Armenia was formed; now, it is before each of you.

This is a turning point in our history because this ideology suggests looking from a different perspective, not only at the path we have passed but also at our future.

The ideology of Real Armenia suggests looking from a different perspective at our state, its operational significance, our internal and external relations, our region, and the world. It suggests that we look from a different perspective at ourselves as a collective whole and each of us at our relations with our homeland, the Republic of Armenia.

The Real Armenia is our peace agenda's conceptual, ideological basis and substantiation. Without it, implementing the ideology of the Peace Agenda is impossible. Today, many people ask an objective question: How feasible and realistic is the ideology of the Real Armenia and the Peace Agenda based on it?
On March 31, 2018, by the decision of the "Civil Contract" Party and in consultation with other partners, I presented the program and concept for establishing the people's power in Armenia, a change of Government, and ultimately, a revolution. When explaining that concept, most Armenians considered it desirable but equally unrealistic, essentially impossible.

But the People's nonviolent, velvet revolution took place thanks to courage, consistency, prudence, a clear strategy and tactics adopted in advance, flexibility, creativity, and the port of all of you.

Of course, the situation is not the same for the peace agenda because its implementation depends on our people and the Government. However, the two conditions are similar to the extent that I propose discussing and focusing on what we do rather than what others will do and say. This is, if not a guarantee, an essential condition for success.

That is what we did in April-May 2024 when I first presented the concept of Real Armenia from the rostrum of the National Assembly. With the support of the parliamentary majority and the people, our Government demonstrated sufficient will and determination to launch the pivotal delimitation process in the Berkaber-Kirants-Voskepar section.
Despite all criticism, the delimitation process is a success story. It is the most essential cornerstone of our state: independence, security, and prosperity. See the demarcated Kirants; you will see what we mean by autonomy, security, and the Real Armenia and Peace Agenda.

Many problems exist in homes, families, communities, and settlements today. The Government has proposed many of these issues, and concrete solutions have been provided, but many remain unresolved. I am confident—I have no doubt—that all these problems will be solved individually, and we will consistently engage in their in-depth solution.
However, I do not address any of these problems in this New Year's address, not because I do not want to record them or because I do not deeply understand their importance. Today, I want to emphasize that we are still at a crossroads, facing a strategic and historical choice, and our substantive perception of all other issues depends on our selection.
The real Armenia, the Republic of Armenia, with an area of 29 thousand 743 square kilometers, should become a guiding ideology not only for the Government and the parliamentary majority but also for every citizen of the Republic of Armenia. The key understanding of this ideology is that the state is a tool for ensuring its citizens' security, well-being, and happiness, preserving and developing their identity, and nothing else. And nothing else, although it includes practically everything and all of that fits into the concepts I listed above, and there is one way to achieve this goal of security, well-being, freedom, happiness, preserving and developing identity: education and work, work and education.

Education and work also helped me gain a more complete and detailed understanding of the ideology of Real Armenia, its nuances and dilemmas, challenges, and opportunities. All our problems in foreign and domestic policy, the economy and state administration, and the legal, public, and political spheres result from an ideological vacuum and a lack of preparation, often an absence.

Dear people, dear citizens,
This is my seventh New Year's address as the Republic of Armenia Prime Minister. These addresses were delivered in different situations and moods, from euphoria to sadness, but at the heart of all of them was a strategic goal: to find the path and formula for the development and endurance of our state and statehood, independence, and sovereignty.

And I am convinced—today, I am confident that that formula and ideology have been found. The ideology of the Real Armenia allows us to move forward and implement the agenda of the durability of statehood and independence. Successfully implementing that agenda also depends on how much we work, how much, and how we learn to have a sustainable state.
Work and education are about changing and transforming, about becoming more literate, competitive, knowledgeable, and insightful based on the necessities arising from the agenda of the state's sustainability.

We must change and transform, dear people, dear citizens of the Republic of Armenia. We must cherish and protect our values and our identity, and we must change and transform. This is my key New Year message for 2025, and the fact that we are welcoming 2025 in a significantly more peaceful, significantly more stable, significantly safer environment, substantially more independent, significantly more sovereign, and considerably more confident than before, all of this is the result of the strategy of Real Armenia, work and education, change and transformation.

We must value that result and further develop it, but we must first recognize it and see it. 2024 has been our country's most peaceful and calm year in the last twenty years, and this fact must be analyzed deeply and seriously. Based on that fact, we must have the next more relaxed and peaceful year, the third calmer and more peaceful year, the five years, then the decade, then the centenary period of peace, and so on. We are going that way; this is the path by which we must be guided and led.

Glory to the martyrs, and long live the Republic of Armenia.
Long live the Republic of Armenia, and Happy New Year.
