Armenia is not Russia`s ally in Ukraine - premier 

ArmInfo.Armenia's Premier Nikol Pashinyan believes the Alma- Ata Declaration concerns Ukraine  as well. 

According to Pashinyan, the Alma-Ata Declaration concerns not only  Armenia, but also all 13 post-Soviet states that recognized it,  including Ukraine and the Russian Federation. "They themselves were  the initiators, since it began with the Belovezha Accords, by which  Russia, Ukraine and Belarus decided that the Soviet Union no longer  existed, and they became independent states, recognizing each other's  borders.  We proceed from the fact that the Alma-Ata Declaration is  the foundation for the recognition of our independence and  territorial integrity, and the same, according to our logic, should  be applicable to Ukraine. This document concerns all of us, and its  destruction could lead to the destruction of everything," Pashinyan  said at a meeting with Armenians from Munich.

According to him, he said two years ago that Armenia is not an ally  of Russia on the issue of Ukraine.  "And this is our sincere  position. It pains us very much that we cannot influence this  situation. The Ukrainian people are friendly people," said the  Armenian Prime Minister.

Touching on the talk about changing the foreign policy vector of  Armenia, Pashinyan said that the goal of Yerevan's foreign policy is  to preserve territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty. <In  relations with the EU and in general with all our Western partners, I  attach importance not only to material relations, but also to  relations based on values. We must proceed from whether democracy is  important to us or not.  Our relations with the EU today are  developing thanks to democracy. The EU supports us on the issue of  democracy, and we are also learning what democracy is," he said.
