Pashinyan promised that Armenia would not join anti-Russian sanctions.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that, despite its intensified European integration aspirations, Yerevan does not plan to join the EU's anti-Russian sanctions.

Answering journalists' questions, Pashinyan also noted that Armenia would refrain from certain steps that could lead to sanctions against Yerevan. The Armenian prime minister explained that, to refute his European partners' suspicions that he was helping Russia evade sanctions, he had to invite European experts.

According to Pashinyan, despite plans to "transform" relations with Moscow, Yerevan "has no intention of harming Russia's interests." Pashinyan acknowledged that there remain "uncomfortable moments" and "nuances" between the countries that require clarification, but stated that Yerevan intends to resolve these issues "calmly, without unnecessary tensions and aggravation." He also said that in April, he informed Vladimir Putin that he would not be able to participate in the EAEU summit on May 28, noting that Armenia would not suddenly leave the union—it would be a planned step.

Pashinyan had previously refused to cut a cake shaped like a map of Armenia, lest it create grounds for "a multitude of different comments." However, these concerns didn't stop Pashinyan from readily disavowing Nagorno-Karabakh and declaring that he had surrendered the region to avoid losing all of Armenia. The Armenian prime minister unequivocally called the Karabakh movement a "trap" into which Yerevan had almost fallen, and expressed satisfaction that the republic had managed to rid itself of its problematic territories.

..oh, don't write about this Armenian misunderstanding... who knows what he's talking about? They'll give orders from Brussels - and he'll fall apart again.

As the saying goes, whether you're a fool or not, you still get your three chervonets a day. Misunderstanding has been in office for quite some time now and has no intention of leaving, despite his frankly disastrous policies. Someone is supporting him with a powerful, hairy paw.

Squeezing the diaspora here so that it will have repercussions in Yerevan would be optimal... If there is no other way!

Oh, come on. I've been having trouble sleeping for years, anticipating sanctions from the Armenians. And then this good news from Nikolka Pashinyan. I breathed a sigh of relief, glory be to all the almighty, now I can sleep peacefully.

Sweet dreams to you, for it has happened.

Thank you. But, you know, the East is a delicate matter, Dmitry, I hope Nikolka doesn't change his mind. And then...our economy will collapse completely. And if Nikolka allies with Nabiullina, it'll be practically a disaster.

It's unlikely that a macaw and a Bashkir woman will find common ground, but if they do... it will truly be "lights out"...

The heirs of Ararat are ashamed to have a Soros underling and a gay European louse at the head of the state.
Everything is in the power of the people to free themselves from the noose of the Gay-Europeans and Anglo-Saxons.

Armenians are unlikely to agree to this. They seem to have already resigned themselves to it. Too bad...

It's high time to put this latest clown in the right position so that he feels "NUANCE"!

He's already in a pose. There's no other way in front of the Europeans.

This is just a verbal promise, we'll see.

Armenian sanctions, will they ban the import of Armenian (skoropalyv) cognac into Russia?

[Nexcom]

This is absolutely impossible - the Aryans have been driving us and will continue to drive us - this is business.
True, there may be some real problems with quality now...

[vitaliy20091959]

There was no quality there, all Caucasian cognacs are worse than Moldovan ones

[Nexcom]

...the Moldovans will come soon and all hell will break loose...

then the Georgians will come along and also explain about the cognac...

[carpenter]

It’s better to drink brandy than Armenian cognac, the prices are raised almost as high as for French cognac.
Moldovans are more modest, prices are normal.

...I would drink Metaxa, a 12 year old...a little....

Metaxa is awesome! It's a short toast, so it's short.

"Pashinyan promised that Armenia will not join anti-Russian sanctions."

As long as cheap Russian energy resources are flowing into Armenia, where real money can be made, promises can be made. Our leadership is promised a lot, and then they explain, "But you understand, we couldn't do otherwise." And we understand everything, and it's been that way for over 30 years. I think they'll stop making promises to us only after Russia has no oil, gas, or timber, and the population has dwindled. Then there will be no one to make promises to, and, frankly, no point.

[taiga2018]

And Russia, kindly, will wait until Armenia is ready to leave the EAEU. It seems we won't see a Russian president who will put his country's interests above those of Armenians and others...

What can Russia do within the EAEU? The only thing it can do is cease trade, economic, political, and other cooperation with Armenia within the EAEU...all other EAEU members have no claims against Armenia...and Russia has no influence over them.

Liquidate Fora-bank, and that will have a fucking huge impact!

Why is that? He could have supported his beloved EU with sanctions. And at the same time, he would have withdrawn from all organizations, from the CSTO to the CIS. If we're going to cut a branch, cut it. We'd have given him some soap and water for the road, to make things easier. And then there would have been something to soap the rope with.

[Nexcom]

Pashinyan, following the old Armenian habit, wants to squeeze everyone's money. So he won't get anywhere as long as there's any chance to squeeze something out of someone...

Wow, I've finally seen the light when it's not my own ugly nostrils that's on my nose, but elections. And I'm so caught between the Turks and Russia. There's not much choice.

Among its squeezed Russia, there is none...all four neighbors have their own "claims" against the Armenians...

[Same lech]

When Pashinyan promises something to Russia, it means he's going to screw it over...there's no other choice.
Too many people promise something to our country, and then use it for their own purposes...they've gotten used to it.

A very bright, genital politician!!

[Fangaro]

Promise doesn't mean...

Pashinyan is not a Russian politician.
He will say what he considers necessary for his country. And for himself.

Our people in the State Duma are also saying what needs to be said. For themselves. And, if it happens, for their country.

Politician is such a profession.

Many officials are interested in the country and its people only because without them the trough will be closed, and those who are fed from abroad are not interested in anything at all.

Maybe we should remember that not all Armenians are coupon cutters? Just as not all "Russians" are volunteers, and not all volunteers are Russian, and that even the Mongols and Tatars weren't a horde, they attacked Rus', including Kyiv, in the 21st century.
Now everyone still has the right to go to the polls and cast their ballot. Instead, they could relax in nature and then spend a couple of years writing in the comments about being deceived. Without mentioning that they deceived themselves by relaxing in nature.
I won't argue with those who go to the polling station, tick off their opinion, and then don't like the results.
But those who say, "Oh, screw them, it doesn't matter, I'd rather grill some meat outdoors"—these people don't give a damn about us, and then it's very convenient to bleat that they weren't heard. When they never intended to speak.

If only oil and gas weren't at European prices, the condom is slippery, how much can you mess with it, just for taking Zelya, you should have bent her over, criminal cases against authorities in Russia.

Pashinyan? Ha-ha-ha, who will ask him?
If you join a community, it means you're following its rules. You don't go to someone else's monastery with your own rules.

What a funny Pashinyan

But he hasn't stopped being a jerk. He continues to be a Russophobe.
