Russia Is Not a Threat to Armenia's Statehood: Ishkhan Saghatelyan

“I know that the ban on the entry of goods is a political decision. Is this political decision a partnership? You answer that question. I have not seen the President of Russia up close; it is Nikol Pashinyan who stated that Vladimir Putin is his close friend, and he communicates with Putin more than the three former presidents of Armenia combined. Therefore, go and fix those relations; you created that crisis, and the citizens of Armenia will pay for it,” said Ishkhan Saghatelyan, a member of Parliament from the Armenia Alliance.

Earlier, newly elected Speaker of the National Assembly Ruben Rubinyan had posed a question from the podium to deputy Kristine Vardanyan, asking whether she believes Russia is a threat to Armenia's statehood or not.
