In early August 2025, Pashinyan held a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The discussion focused on Pashinyan's recent meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Washington, D.C., where the leaders expressed their commitment to pursuing a final peace agreement to resolve over three decades of intermittent conflict in the region.

Putin reaffirmed Russia's readiness to assist in the normalisation of Azerbaijan-Armenia relations.
