Medvedev: Pashinyan has taken a course toward breaking with Russia

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has taken a course toward breaking with Russia, this must be directly acknowledged, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said in response to a question from RIA Novosti.

Earlier Medvedev noted that Pashinyan could "land painfully" between the chairs of the EAEU and the European Union, on the one hand trying to "drag" Yerevan into the EU, and on the other trying to preserve the benefits from membership in the Eurasian Economic Union.

"A certain Nikol Pashinyan has taken a course toward breaking with Russia, this must be directly acknowledged. It seems beneficial to him, squeezing between the streams of various political currents, to earn inflated authority in the West for himself, risking ties with our country," Medvedev said.
