Nikol Pashinyan was not invited to Poland on the anniversary of the  start of World War II

ArmInfo. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will not take part in the events marking the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II in Warsaw. The press  secretary of the head of government Vladimir Karapetyan informed  ArmInfo correspondent about this.

"The Prime Minister did not receive an invitation to participate in  events dedicated to the start of World War II in Poland," Karapetyan  said.

Earlier, Armenian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Anna Naghdalyan told  ArmInfo that the head of the Armenian government would not take part  in the 29th international economic conference, which will be held  September 3-5 in the Polish city of Krynica-Zdroj. Meanwhile, the  conference website reported that Nikol Pashinyan was among those  invited to the forum and would be one of the important guests of the  event.

According to the press secretary of the Prime Minister Vladimir  Karapetyan, the Pashinyan receives numerous invitations to  participate in various events, but does not participate in all.

To note, According to UNIAN, as early as March 19 this year,  spokesman of the Polish President Poland, Blazej Spychalski, said  that only members of the European Union, NATO and the Eastern  Partnership states - Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan,  Georgia should be invited to the solemn events to be held in Warsaw  on September 1. Without Russia, he specified. In July 2019, the press  service of Polish President Andrzej Duda issued a statement stating  that Poland intends to meet the dramatic events of 80 years ago with  countries with which it closely cooperates "in the interest of world  peace."

US President Donald Trump and German Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel  are expected to arrive in Poland this year in particular. The  participation of the official delegation of Ukraine, which also  received invitations from Andrzej Duda, was also confirmed by the  office of President Volodymyr Zelensky.  Meanwhile, President of  Belarus Alexander Lukashenko will not take part in these events.  According to the Polish publication "Rzeczpospolita", Lukashenko  refused to visit Poland, because the Polish authorities did not  invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to events in Warsaw.
