In an interview with Izvestiya, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of harming bilateral relations, Report informs.
“I also spoke with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan when I visited Yerevan for various meetings. It seemed to me that he still understands the benefits of continuing alliance relations with Russia, and cooperation within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). But now, both in the Armenian Security Council and in the parliament, Armenian officials directly say that we need to rely more on the European Union. According to them, CSTO allegedly does not fulfill its obligations to the republic,” Lavrov said.
