RA-RF relations are very important, existing problems can be solved. Pashinyan

We have not had discussions with any foreign country during this period, but that does not mean that we are not open to it. This was announced by the leader of the “non-violent velvet revolution”, MP Nikol Pashinyan at the press conference with the participation of foreign journalists.

“I repeat, there is no geopolitical content in everything that is happening, this is a pure Armenian revolution and I hope that all geopolitical forces understand that,” he said, stressing that they are ready to talk about Armenia and Russia, Armenia-US relations, and relations with the EU.

“The most important thing for us in this process is the national interest of Armenia. That is the only goal and we want to serve the national interests of RA and the interests of the people. Including the interests of Artsakh. we will protect and protect the national interest of Artsakh,” he emphasized.

In response to a Russian journalist’s question about how the relations with the Russian Federation will develop, Nikol Pashinyan noted that the RA authorities will always answer this question uniformly: the relations between Armenia and Russia are very important.

“There is no doubt that Armenia and Russia are friendly, brotherly states. There are also problems, but we do not aim to criticize those problems, our aim is to solve them. Those problems are related to our region, the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, in particular, the sale of arms to Azerbaijan, which, I think, violates the balance of power between Armenia and Azerbaijan. And I think that Russia, willy-nilly, contributed to it. This is a very simple problem, but it has not been solved for a year,” he listed. 

There are problems, the speaker said, also in the economic bloc, but the most important thing is that there are no unsolvable problems in Armenian-Russian relations, you just need to be patient and be positive.
