Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reiterate that Armenia is not an
ally of Russia on the issue of Ukraine, AzerNEWS
reports, citing the Armenian media.
The remarks were made in response to a journalist’s question
regarding perceptions that the visit of Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Yerevan was interpreted by some as an
anti-Russian step.
“I have previously made statements on this topic. We have sent
humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and I have said that on the issue of
Ukraine we are not allies with Russia,” Pashinyan noted.
Prime Minister rejected this interpretation, emphasizing that
Armenia’s position on the conflict in Ukraine should not be viewed
through the framework of alliance politics. He underlined that
Armenia does not consider itself a party to the Russia–Ukraine
confrontation.
Earlier Nicol Pashinyan stated that he will not attend parade in
Moscow.
Speaking to journalists today, Pashinyan said he would not
participate in the parade to be held in Moscow on May 9.
According to him, such a decision was made due to participation
in the upcoming election campaign in Armenia.
