Pashinyan spoke about the uselessness of the Russian Federation and counts on the support of the West

Armenia can no longer count on Russia's protection from problems. The state has a long way to go to consider Western countries as a guarantor of its security. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this in an interview with Politico.

According to the official, Russian peacekeepers are not coping with their task in Karabakh, since the problematic situation in the Lachin corridor remains. “I cannot say that the support and assistance we receive is sufficient to achieve our goals and implement our plans. Our strategy is to try in this situation to minimize dependence on others,” Pashinyan noted.

Recently, Armenia conducted small military exercises with the US Army on its territory. This, like the visit of Pashinyan’s wife to Ukraine, caused a negative reaction in the Kremlin.
