“The Collective Security Treaty, in our opinion, has not been fulfilled with regard to Armenia… This could not remain without our attention. We have suspended our participation in this contract. Let’s see what happens next,” Pashinyan said.

At the same time, Pashinyan assured that the issue of preserving the Russian military base in Armenia is not on the agenda.

Nikol Pashinyan also claims that a few months ago, Russia “openly called on the Armenian population to overthrow the government.” According to him, “this propaganda from Moscow against him is not weakening.”

Pashinyan also expressed his concern about the detention in Armenia of the Russian Dmytro Setrakov, who left the mobilization, calling it a “kidnapping”. “We cannot tolerate illegal actions on our territory,” said Nikol Pashinyan and threatened “consequences” if “Yerevan’s demands remain unanswered.”
