Pashinyan to Medvedev: Armenia is Armenia and it will not turn into anything else

ArmInfo. Armenia is Armenia and will not turn into anything else. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at a briefing on October 8, commenting at the request of journalists on the statement by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev that the worst thing that could happen to Armenia is its transformation into another Ukraine.

In this regard, the Armenian Prime Minister noted that Armenia has already experienced the worst, especially when the CSTO failed to fulfill its alliance obligations towards Armenia in September 2020. Pashinyan emphasized that others may express concern about Armenia turning into Russia, especially given the constant explosions heard in various regions of the Russian Federation. "Armenia is Armenia and will not turn into anything else." "The country will transform into a much more sovereign state, and this is our path," Nikol Pashinyan said.

As a reminder, Medvedev previously stated that Armenia's change in foreign policy would not lead to positive consequences. The worst-case scenario for the republic would be its "transformation into a new Ukraine." "The current Armenian leadership considered it right to change its development vector. I am sure that this will not lead to anything good either. The worst thing that can happen to Armenia is its transformation into a new Ukraine," Medvedev said in an interview with the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
