The representative of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin “takes note” of the words of the Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan that Armenia is not an ally of the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine.
Writes about it “European truth“with reference to Russian”Interfax“.
Commenting on Pashinyan’s words at a briefing for journalists, Peskov said: “We take note of it, this is an important statement.”
“We know that there are certain nuances in Armenia’s approaches to the conflict around Ukraine, we take them into account, we know them,” Putin’s speaker added, noting that “of course, we continue to develop our conceptual allied relations with Armenia.”
Recall that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in an interview in early May that Armenia is not an ally of Russia in its war against Ukraine. According to him, while in the West Yerevan is considered an ally of Moscow, Moscow itself has a different opinion, and “it turns out that we are not an ally to anyone in this situation, which means we are vulnerable.”
It should be noted that in recent months, relations between Russia and Armenia have deteriorated due to the position of the first on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The Armenian prime minister accused the Russian-controlled Collective Security Treaty Organization of virtual inactivity due to the aggression of Azerbaijan and publicly let out from her.
In addition, Pashinyan recently acknowledged that his country cannot afford to be sanctioned because of cooperation with the Russian Federation, amid EU intentions to impose restrictions on third countries that help Russia with trade.
