Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk's visit to Armenia took place without a meeting with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. This, as noted by the Armenian newspaper Past and several experts, indicates growing tensions in relations between Moscow and Yerevan.

Diplomatic sources report a cooling of relations between Russia and the Armenian government. Particular attention is being paid to Armenia's failure to implement previously reached agreements: only one of the 15 agreed-upon points has been implemented. Moscow is reportedly expressing growing dissatisfaction with the failure to fulfill its obligations, in particular the delays in opening the Russian consulate, which is seen as disregard for the agreements.

As a reminder, a meeting of the Armenian-Russian intergovernmental commission on economic cooperation, chaired by Deputy Prime Ministers Mher Grigoryan and Alexey Overchuk, was held in Yerevan. Trade, economic, cultural, and humanitarian cooperation were discussed. Following the meeting, Grigoryan and Overchuk signed the minutes of the 24th meeting of the intergovernmental commission.
