Nikol Pashinyan confirms that he is satisfied with conversation with  Alexander Lukashenko and does not consider it necessary to continue  discussion of this conversation

ArmInfo. "President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko voiced only what he said, but did not say what I  said to him in response", Acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol  Pashinyan told reporters on December 19th.

According to Pashinyan, immediately upon arrival from St. Petersburg,  where the meeting of the Supreme Economic Council of the EAEU was  held, he told reporters that he had discussed all the issues with  Alexander Lukashenko and was generally satisfied with the answers  received. At the same time, as Pashinyan recalled, he did not want to  reveal the details of the conversation, noting that at the moment  it's incorrect to make public the content of the closed meeting.  "Even today I can confirm that I am satisfied with this conversation  and I don't consider it necessary to continue the discussion of this  conversation.  Perhaps there are people who are not satisfied with  the conversation, but this is a different question," the Acting head  of government stated.

Referring to the statement of the Belarusian leader that Pashinyan  did not raise the issue of arms sales to Azerbaijan before the head  of Russia Vladimir Putin, the Armenian Acting Prime Minister recalled  that after this, Armenian ActingbPrime Minister's spokesman Arman  Yeghoyan denied the statement, stressing that Pashinyan constantly  raised the issue during meetings with Putin sales of Russian weapons  to Azerbaijan. As Nikol Pashinyan said, all the questions raised by  Lukashenka were given exhaustive and very specific answers. "To be  honest, I and the others present had the impression that Lukashenko  was also satisfied with the conversation. What happened next is  unknown to me," he said.

  Earlier, it was reported that on the sidelines of the informal CIS  summit in St. Petersburg, Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan  demanded an explanation from the head of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko  that he had discussed the details of the closed meeting of the CSTO  leaders with the Azerbaijani Ambassador that the AR is not a member  of the organization. "Everything that he promised to do was done," -  told reporters. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on December 7  in the city of Gyumri, speaking about the correspondence controversy  with the leader of Belarus over the appointment of a new CSTO  Secretary General. On Wednesday, December 5, Nikol Pashinyan said  that on December 6 in St. Petersburg, he would demand clarification  from Alexander Lukashenko.

To note, after the recall of the CSTO Secretary General Yuri   Khachaturov, the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev spoke   in favor of early termination of the powers of Armenia as the   chairperson of the organization of the country and the transfer of   the post of Secretary General on the rotation order to Belarus.   President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko subsequently discussed the   situation with the ambassador of Azerbaijan, telling him the details   of the closed meeting and supporting the position of Nazarbayev. In   response to this, RA Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that   he would demand explanations from the Belarusian and Kazakh   presidents.Minsk through the press secretary of the Ministry of  Foreign Affairs Anatoly Glaza reproached Pashinyan for violating the  norms of the international protocol. Yerevan responded to this  statement at the level of a deputy from the ruling party, Alain  Simonyan, who stressed that it was not Minsk to teach Pashinyan the  etiquette and rules of international politics, since Minsk itself  constantly violates them.

Meanwhile, after the St. Petersburg meeting, President of Belarus  Alexander Lukashenko, in an interview with journalists, in  particular, stated that Minsk is the fifth arms supplier to  Azerbaijan. "There are countries that sell weapons of Baku on a large  scale, for example, Israel, Russia, Turkey. I told Nikol Pashinyan  why he takes offense at Minsk because of the sale of weapons to  Azerbaijan. Russia sells them on a much larger scale, why he scored  in the mouth, why does not he raise this question before Putin, why  does he not criticize him, or is he afraid? " - Lukashenka said,  adding that during the conversation with Pashinyan, President of  Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev was also present there.
