Armenian PM to skip out Russian leader’s inauguration

The inauguration of Russian President Vladimir Putin will be held on May 7 at 12:00 (GMT+3).

After the presidential elections in Russia, one of the issues on the agenda was whether Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan would visit Russia to participate in the ceremony or not, Caliber.Az reports.

“A decision was made not to go. Armenia wants to once again show that, as an ally, it is dissatisfied with Russia,” according to the Armenian media.

According to the information, Pashinyan will be in Russia only on May 8 to participate in the anniversary summit marking the 10th anniversary of the Eurasian Economic Union. However, Pashinyan will not participate in the events organised on May 9 on the occasion of Victory Day. This is already the West’s demand.

“We promptly inform about all visits of the prime minister,” the message says.
