Damaging Russia`s interests has not been, is not, and will not be on  Armenia`s agenda - Nikol Pashinyan 

ArmInfo.  Damaging Russia's interests has not been, is not, and will not be on Armenia's agenda. It's out of the question. No one can force us into taking action against Russia, even if they try. There have been no attempts yet,  but no one can force us into taking action against Russia.  RA Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan made this statement in an interview with the  Public TV of Armenia.

"And we also tell our Russian partners: you know, we won't fight with  you, we won't argue, we won't engage in a dispute or war of words,  because we value our relations. Yes, interstate relations, but  personal relations are no less important in this context. I have a  very direct and warm relationship with Russian President Vladimir  Putin, and I have a very warm and direct relationship with Russian  Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin." "This is our strategy: we will not  act against Russia, but will always act in the interests of the  Republic of Armenia," the Armenian Prime Minister said.

At the same time, Pashinyan noted that certain problems and overlaps  may arise. For example, after the Washington agreements with  Azerbaijan (August 8), the Russian side had certain questions, which  he "answered with pleasure. "With pleasure in the sense that we are  always open to dialogue," he added.

According to him, the Russian side's concerns have been expressed in  expert circles and in the press. "I drew the attention of our Russian  partners to a simple fact. On August 8, 2025, we signed in Washington  the content that we had previously proposed to the Russian Federation  over the past five years, a little more than five. Of course, Trump's  route wasn't there, but we needed just five words, five words. These  words were: territorial integrity, sovereignty, jurisdiction,  reciprocity, inviolability of borders. We said: write these five  words down on paper, and I am ready to sign this document at any  time. And there is no exaggeration in my words. And this is a very  specific example of how we have never acted against Russia and will  not act. But of course, I apologize, we cannot act against Armenia,  and we must always act in accordance with Armenia's interests. And we  will not fight Russia, we will not fight, and there is no need for  that. It is clear, you know, that there are always tensions,  discussions on the agenda. We will always discuss, but we will not  fight with Russia, we will not create problems with Russia, but will  pursue our own interests," Nikol Pashinyan concluded.
