Pashinyan: Armenia's participation in CSTO is 'frozen'
Political
The Prime Minister stressed that the issue of keeping the Russian military base in Armenia is not being considered at present.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that Baku considers today's Armenia as "Western Azerbaijan". According to him, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev seeks not a peaceful agreement based on the recognition of territorial integrity, but the seizure of new territories in Armenia.
Pashinyan expressed dissatisfaction with the position of the Russian authorities, claiming that several months ago Russia openly called on the Armenian population to overthrow the government. He emphasised that propaganda from Moscow against him continues to be actively spread. Mr Pashinyan also expressed concern over the detention in Armenia of Russian Dmitry Setrakov, who had evaded mobilisation, calling it a "kidnapping".
"We can't tolerate illegal actions on our territory," Nikol Pashinyan said and threatened with "consequences" in case "demands of Yerevan remain unanswered."
