The perception that Armenia is trying to change direction from one pole to another is wrong. President of the National Assembly

“Armenia will not be in any pole and it will not be in the opposite pole,” said the Speaker of the National Assembly, answering the question whether Yerevan is not afraid that Moscow will turn its back, because Armenia is “changing its political course.”

Simonyan emphasized that Armenia, as a sovereign state, has the right to balance its policy. He added that in a private conversation with Matvienko, he also mentioned that Yerevan is not going to side with anyone or work against anyone.

“Armenia has its own foreign policy, its own vision. Especially after the war of 2020… I think that the answers to the questions you ask can already be found in what happened after 20,” he said.

Earlier, Simonyan met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The latter stressed that claims about hybrid attacks against Armenia are at least strange. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia once again repeated the statement that has been heard regularly from Moscow recently, according to which Yerevan, deepening its relations with the European Union, should clearly understand its consequences. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk also announced this today.
