“I myself ask this question, where did this topic come from... As a person, as a Russian, as an ambassador, I have sympathy for this, but I do not know that this question was ever raised as the subject of our political dialogue and discussion,” he told 24News.
In February, the Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Alen Simonyan said that they were allegedly trying to force Armenia to join the Union State of Russia and Belarus.
At the same time, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said 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 untrue.
