Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said Yerevan does not rule out taking its dispute with Russia over the management of the South Caucasus Railway to an international court if the issue cannot be resolved through negotiations. At the same time, he stressed that the Armenian authorities hope to settle the matter through talks.
The Russian authorities replace the concepts, calling wars different terms. «The war in Ukraine is called a "special military operation", - said Alexander Cherkasov, member of the CDI «Memorial». - The first war in Chechnya was described by the federal authorities as "the operation to disarm illegal gangs and restore constitutional order", and the second as a "counter-terrorism operation". The war with Georgia in 2008 is a "peace enforcement operation"».
In addition, even in Syria, the Russian army carried out a «military operation», the official name of which is «special tasks in the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic».
«Well, and in 2022, Russia launched a war in Ukraine, calling it a «special military operation», - Cherkasov added. He also noted that these substitutions did not in any way prevent the international courts from drawing legal conclusions with appropriate consequences.
