Medvedev calls Pashinyan's course dangerous for Armenia

The people of Armenia will lose the Russian market and the entire EAEU as a result of the dangerous course of the country's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, said Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, answering a question from RIA Novosti.

Medvedev previously stated that Pashinyan had taken a course toward breaking relations with Russia.

"Apparently, he considers us suckers. At the same time, he himself made a major mistake in his coordinate system and is pursuing an extremely dangerous course for his country," the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council pointed out.

"Think about it: as a result of the actions of this very specific little man, the entire people of Armenia will lose, who will be deprived of the Russian market, the entire EAEU, and economic ties built over decades," he added.

Medvedev reminded that Pashinyan's course could lead to Yerevan having to buy Russian gas at European prices, which is three times more expensive than current tariffs. The deputy chairman of the Security Council suggested that the Armenian prime minister ask citizens if they are ready for such a price.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is pushing Armenia onto the course of Bandera's Ukraine, Medvedev also stated.

«Pashinyan, as head of the Armenian government, did not appreciate numerous examples of fraternal assistance and support from Moscow and chose a course toward breaking relations with Russia. It is especially dangerous that the temporary worker Nikol is actively pushing his homeland onto the sorrowful path of Bandera's Ukraine,» he emphasized.

The deputy chairman of the Security Council pointed out that Pashinyan, despite the benefits to Yerevan from membership in the EAEU, refused to participate in the union's summits and is gathering "vile enemies of Russia" in Yerevan.
