Armenia is not an ally of Russia in the war against Ukraine - Nicol Pashinyan

According to Pashinyan, it was not said aloud before. But in Armenia, they perceive a war in Ukraine with anxiety, as it directly affects all respects. Armenian Prime Minister Nicol Pashinyan stated that his country is not an ally of the Russian Federation in the war, which the Kremlin leadership leads against Ukraine. The Armenian Prime Minister noted that hostilities in Ukraine affect all international relations. He stated this in an interview with CNN Prima News.

According to Pashinyan, it was not previously said that Armenia was not an ally of Russia. But in Armenia, they perceive a war in Ukraine with anxiety, as it directly affects all respects. He also noted that the countries of the West are considering his country as an ally of the Russian Federation, but in Russia he understands that the official Yerevan is against hostilities. "It turns out that we are allies in this situation, which means we are vulnerable," Pashinyan explained.

The Armenian leader would like to avoid collisions, but the situation is complicated, and the maneuvering field narrows. According to him, Armenia evades and does not express his position not because it is not, but because they have enough problems. The Kremlin has already appreciated Pashinyan's statements. The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said they were "taken into account. " It should be reminded that participation in the CPU prevents Armenia from purchasing weapons.
