Recently, Nikol Pashinyan and Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin had a principled conversation in Yekaterinburg. Russian Senator Vladimir Jabarov said this during the press conference held on the Sputnik Armenia multimedia platform, answering the question about the current state of bilateral relations in the background of the RA National Assembly elections.
“The situation in Armenia is difficult. You know that recently a meeting of prime ministers took place in Yekaterinburg. There was a principled conversation, and it was clearly said that Armenia should take a stand,” said the Russian senator.
He is convinced that the only chance for Armenia to survive in the conditions of global instability is to maintain friendship with Russia and membership of the Eurasian Economic Union.
“We will follow concrete steps. The villagers, who are unable to sell their products, are already expressing dissatisfaction. Russia does not intend to take revenge on the people of Armenia, but it should be understood that we also have our own interests,” Jabarov said.
Nikol Pashinyan and Mikhail Mishustin met on July 6 in Yekaterinburg. During the negotiations, Pashinyan expressed hope that the existing problematic issues will be resolved.
