Speaker of Parliament: They are trying to force Armenia to join the Union State

“Our biggest concern is where the blow will come from (on Armenia. -

), and this blow is delivered by the hands of Azerbaijan.

It is directed against our sovereignty... There is a big plan to include Armenia in the Union State,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

According to the Armenian official, this plan was allegedly thwarted in 2021 during parliamentary elections.

At the same time, Simonyan refused to answer the question of whether there were specific proposals addressed to Armenia to join the Union State.

“I don’t want to talk about it, because they will start to refute it from different places.

But this is obvious when you compare the actions,” he added.

At the same time, earlier Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan stated that the country had not received an offer to join the Union State.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov reported that statements about “pressure” on Armenia are not true.
