We have adopted a balanced and balancing foreign policy. That policy does not include the fact that we will build our relations in one direction at the expense of our other relations. Moreover, the logic of that policy has never included the fact that we will not have visits to Russia and will not develop and deepen relations with Russia. Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said this during the Parliament-Government question-and-answer session, referring to the comments and criticisms related to his decision to leave for Russia on May 9.
“To be honest, those comments are not very understandable for me,” he said, noting that issues of the bilateral agenda are also discussed during such meetings, it would not be right to leave them out, and Pashinyan does not think that criticisms and observations are appropriate.
When asked whether there are already planned meetings, the Prime Minister clarified that there will be contacts, but the extent to which they will be formalized is unknown. It is only known that the schedule will be tight.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan confirmed during a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 14 that he accepted the Russian President’s invitation and would participate in the celebrations in Moscow on May 9.
Earlier, the Armenian Prime Minister’s Spokesperson Nazeli Baghdasaryan denied rumors circulating in the press that a trilateral meeting was planned in Moscow on May 9 with the participation of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
