This diplomatic demarche will increase Yerevan's subjective authority

Vahram Atanesyan, a former member of the Artsakh National Assembly and analyst, wrote on his Facebook page.

"After the publication of Alexander Lukashenko's speech, which exceeded the limits of diplomatic etiquette in all respects, during the meeting with the Secretary General of the CSTO, the Armenian government is obliged to recall the Armenian ambassador from that country to hold consultations, reducing relations to the level of contacts through the charge d'affaires. Anyway, there are no positive expectations from Lukashenko, but this diplomatic demarche will increase Yerevan's subjective authority."
