Armenian officials announced “Russian aggression” in Ukraine

The Ukrainian city of Bucha was visited by the Ambassador of Armenia to Ukraine Vladimir Karapetyan and the head of the Nor Nork administrative district of Yerevan Tigran Ter-Margaryan. The latter spoke out in support of communities “suffered by Russian aggression.”

“We are proud of the courage of the Ukrainian people defending their freedom and independence on the battlefield. The city of Yerevan and the Nor Nork region will always support Bucha and other communities affected by Russian aggression. This humanitarian assistance is only a small part of our solidarity,” said Tigran Ter-Margaryan.

Earlier, the wife of the Prime Minister of Armenia Anna Hakobyan took part in the annual Summit of First Ladies and Spouses in Kyiv. She also brought humanitarian aid with her.

Let us also recall that recently the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan accused two CSTO member countries of helping Azerbaijan during the Second Karabakh War. “In 2020, our allies took part in the preparations for war, not on our side,” he noted during a speech in parliament. Observers immediately identified these countries - the Russian Federation and Belarus.
