The other day, the special representative of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation on the promotion of the normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan Igor Khovaev arrived in Yerevan. He met with the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan and the Secretary of the Council of People’s Commissars Armen Grigoryan.
according to the Past newspaper, Khovaev warned the Armenia authorities that Moscow seriously angered Pashinyan’s last statement that “it turns out that Russia’s military presence in Armenia not only does not guarantee, but vice versa, poses a threat to Armenia’s security “.
In Russia, according to the publication, it is believed that Pashinyan has already crossed “all the red lines.” According to our sources, this circumstance significantly worried the current authorities of Armenia, and after this meeting, in particular, the Foreign Minister and Minister of Defense of Armenia hastened to call his Russian colleagues.
In Moscow, they are also outraged by Pashinyan’s statement that EU observers come to Armenia to be sure that Armenia with Russia is not going to “carry out joint aggressive actions against Azerbaijan.” “In Moscow, this is perceived as the control of the West over the presence of the Russian Federation in Armenia,” the newspaper writes.
