Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that they did not take any wrong steps in their relations with Russia. "There is no place where our partners can accuse us of not fulfilling our obligations. Unfortunately, the opposite cases are numerous. But I also want to emphasize that we don't want to argue with Russia not only because we don't have the opportunity and strength to do so, but also because we appreciate the huge positive that was and is in our relations," he said.
According to Pashinyan, it is essential to understand what is happening in Armenian-Russian relations. "There is a transition from historical Armenia-Russia relations to real Armenia-Russia relations. It is sometimes as painful as our internal transformation from historical Armenia to real Armenia."
