Peskov: Russia and Armenia have opposite views on Ukraine.
According to Sputnik, Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman of the Russian government, in response to the recent position of the Armenian Prime Minister, announced that Armenia and Russia have opposite views on the war and crisis in Ukraine.
He said: that Russia and Armenia have opposite views on Ukraine, and Moscow is well aware of this position.
Nikol Pashinyan, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, announced Yerevan’s position on the war in Ukraine a few hours ago and said that Armenia is not an ally of Russia in this matter.
Pashinyan said at the meeting of representatives of Armenian immigrants in Germany: I have said for a long time that Armenia is not an ally of Russia in the Ukraine issue, and this is our honest position. It is painful that we cannot influence the situation. Ukrainian people are our friends.
He claimed: The Almaty declaration (1991) does not only include Armenia but also everyone, because the former Soviet Union, including Russia and Ukraine, signed it and recognized each other’s borders. This declaration recognizes the borders and territorial integrity of the (separated) republics. This statement also applies to the Ukraine issue, and if we destroy it, everything may be destroyed.
(Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan agreed to the “Alma-Ata” protocols on December 21, 1991 and officially formed the Commonwealth of Independent States.)
Earlier, Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of the Russian Security Council and the former president of this country warned the United States and European countries that the attempt to return Russia to the borders of 1991 would lead to a world war using the entire strategic arsenal in Kyiv, Berlin, London and Washington.
