Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin did not congratulate him on the results of the elections during the last telephone conversation.
Answering the journalists’ question why there was no mention of congratulations in the official messages of the parties after the conversation, Pashinyan confirmed the absence of congratulations. “The President of Russia did not congratulate me, but here a question arises: who was he talking to in that case?” asked the Prime Minister. He also informed that contacts with the Russian side will continue, and the meeting with the Russian president may take place in the near future.
“We have said that we will meet in the near future, but the dates have not yet been specified,” Pashinyan said.
Earlier, after the phone conversation between Pashinyan and Putin, the parties had released messages, in which it was said about the discussion of bilateral relations, regional agenda and current issues, but no information about the congratulations related to the elections was published.
