Yerevan does not intend to create crisis in relations with Moscow -  RA premier 

 Yerevan does not intend to create crisis in relations with Moscow -  RA premier 

ArmInfo.  RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan rules out a repeat of the events of 2013, when, overnight, Armenia abandoned its European orientation in favor of the Eurasian  Economic Union.

Speaking at a joint press conference with European Commission  President Ursula von der Leyen in Yerevan on July 2, the Prime  Minister noted that such a development is impossible, especially now  that the Armenian people have clearly supported the current  authorities in implementing their policies. On the other hand, the  Prime Minister continued, Yerevan does not intend to create a crisis  in relations with Moscow.  Armenia, according to the Prime Minister,  does not ignore the interests of its international partners, but at  the same time, is guided by its own interests.

Commenting on yesterday's telephone conversation with Russian Prime  Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Pashinyan stated that during the  conversation, the parties agreed to continue discussing pressing  bilateral issues. "The telephone conversation took place at my  initiative. The range of issues discussed was provided in the  message. We agreed that more detailed discussions will take place in  the near future," he said.
