Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reiterated that the Armenian government will “not take any abrupt actions” in its relationship with Russia.

Speaking at a campaign event for the ruling Civil Contract party in the village of Shnogh in Lori Province, Pashinyan said he has friendly relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and that they have held over 200 phone calls since he took office in 2018.

At the same time, he emphasized that although Armenia respects Russia as a major power and values continued dialogue, it cannot place another country’s interests above its own.
