Samvel Karapetyan: Ukrainian President`s visit to Yerevan is meanness  toward Armenia`s ally by Armenian authorities 

ArmInfo. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Yerevan to participate in the European Political Community (EPC) summit is an act of baseness by Armenian authorities toward both Armenia's ally (Russia - ed.) and the Armenian people, as stated by Samvel Karapetyan, leader of the Strong  Armenia party, at a press conference in Yerevan.

The party leader believes that the Armenian people will receive no  benefit from this. "At the summit, the Armenian prime minister  essentially gave a master class on how to surrender one's own  territories. All that remains for Pashinyan is to sell the Europeans  one last thing: an anti-Russian policy, which they will gladly accept  from him," Karapetyan concluded.

Recall, on May 3, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in  Yerevan to participate in the 8th European Political Community  Summit. During a meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan  on May 4, , Zelenskyy proposed resuming the work of the Joint  Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation and holding its  next meeting in Kyiv. Armenia's move was sharply criticized by  Russia. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry  Medvedev called Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Ukrainian  President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "two brainless Russophobes." Federation  Council Vice Speaker Konstantin Kosachev stated that "the EPC summit  in Yerevan aims to expedite Armenia's accession to the euro and the  transatlantic community, while complicating relations with Russia as  much as possible and giving its response the connotation of a  'Russian threat.'" Meanwhile, Armenian political scientist Vahe  Hovhannisyan expressed the opinion that "Zelensky's arrival in  Yerevan will mean turning Armenia into the epicenter of anti-Russian  sentiment, which will openly irritate at least three neighboring  states Iran, Georgia, and even Turkey."
