The authorities of Armenia themselves must bear responsibility for the steps and decisions that are made under the influence of Western partners, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stated in the briefing.
In particular, this is how he interpreted the statements of RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who pointed out the threat of war with Azerbaijan in a meeting with residents of the border villages of Tavush region, if Yerevan does not make compromises.
“I would like everyone to take responsibility for their actions that are taken under the influence of or with Western partners,” the diplomat said.
Zakharova emphasized that these statements of Pashinyan should not be associated with Russia.
“There were no consultations with us on this issue, there were no contacts, this was exclusively decided by the leadership of Armenia on the basis of consultation with the West,” explained the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
He added that “the Prime Minister of Armenia will not benefit from scaring his population with war.”
“It is unlikely that terrorizing one’s own population will be the best way to achieve a favorable result for Armenia. It is necessary to solve these issues in a calm, constructive way,” concluded the diplomat.
