Pashinyan confirms his visit to Moscow to participate in Victory  Parade on May 9

ArmInfo.. Yerevan is committed to a balanced and balancing foreign policy.  Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan  made this statement during a question and answer session with the government  on May 7 while  responding to a  question about whether the visit of the head of the Armenian Cabinet to Moscow on  May 9  could harm relations with the West.

< I have accepted the invitation of the President of Russia to  participate in the anniversary celebrations>,- he said from the  rostrum of the RA parliament, confirming that he will go to Moscow  for the Victory Parade.  Additionally, he pointed out that Yerevan is  committed to a balanced and balancing foreign policy. And within the  framework of this logic, the authorities have never built relations  with countries at the expense of relations with others.

<Moreover, the logic of that policy has never been that we will not  have visits to Russia, that we will not develop and deepen  relations  with Russia>, he added.  In this regard, according to Pashinyan, he  does not understand such comments, as < of course, these events are  very important in the  context of the victory achieved World War II,  but  matters are discussed at these meetings also, including matters  on the bilateral agenda. It would not be right to miss such  opportunities. I do  not believe that these criticisms or remarks are  appropriate,> the RA Prime Minister noted, emphasizing that a very  busy schedule is expected in Moscow.
