Shpakovsky: Minsk takes Pashinyan`s impulsive statements calmly

ArmInfo.Minsk takes Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's impulsive statements calmly. This  was stated by Alexander Shpakovsky, Counselor-Envoy of the Belarusian Embassy in Russia, commenting on the Armenian Prime Minister's statements today.

"We continue to respect the brotherly Armenian people, with whom  Belarus has centuries-old historical ties," he wrote on his Telegram  channel.

Today Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said from the rostrum  of parliament that he will never visit Belarus again as long as  Alexander Lukashenko is president. He justified his words by the fact  that one of the leaders of the CSTO member countries recently stated  that during the 44-day war his country participated, believed in and  wished for Azerbaijan's victory. "And you want me to go to Belarus  after that and discuss issues related to the CSTO with the president  of that country?" the RA Prime Minister asked, noting that Armenia  intends to leave the CSTO. Following this statement, the Armenian  Foreign Ministry reported that Yerevan had recalled its ambassador  from Belarus for consultations.
