Armenian PM Pashinyan: "For two centuries, Armenian-Russian relations have been built on the foundation and understanding that Russia is the guarantor of the security of the Armenian people and the Armenian state. I have never questioned Russia’s commitment to fulfilling this role, but the developments of 2021, 2022 and... 2023 showed that, due to its own security challenges, the Russian Federation can at times face significant limitations in its ability to perform this role. We saw this in September 2022, and we saw it again in September 2023. And this is where we once again came face to face with the fact that we have failed to learn the lessons of our history." He said Armenia will apply to join the EU and would not object to being expelled from CSTO.show more

Armenia's PM Pashinyan admits: For two centuries, Armenian–Russian relations have been built on the foundation and understanding that Russia is the guarantor of the security of the Armenian people, and later of the Republic of Armenia. I have not doubted Russia’s commitment to performing this function, but the events of 2021, 2022 and 2023 showed that, because of its own security problems, the Russian Federation can sometimes have significant limitations in fulfilling that role. We saw that in September 2022, and we saw it in September 2023. And this is where we once again came face to face with the painful fact that we had not learned the lessons of our history.

A historic and official statement in #Yerevan: the European Union will open its market to Armenian products if Russia closes its market to them. The President of the European Commission said: "I am aware that not everyone welcomes the growing ties between the European Union and Armenia. We are fully aware that #Russia is trying to pressure Armenia not to move closer to the European Union. We will not allow that. We know this, and we will support #Armenia in resisting such pressure. That is why I am here today to state unequivocally that if Russia closes its market to Armenian products, the European Union will open its doors to Armenian goods and products, giving them access to the #EU's market of 450 million consumers. We want to stand by our friends."

Putin says Russia will not object to Armenia moving closer to the EU if Yerevan believes it is in the interests of the Armenian people. He added that if Armenia leaves the Eurasian Economic Union, ordinary migrant requirements will apply to Armenian citizens. There are over 2 million Armenians n Russia. Putin said Russia and Armenia are bound by “ties of friendship” and “special relations” going back centuries, adding that Moscow’s talks with Yerevan on the issue must be “frank, sincere and absolutely open.” “I told [PM] Nikol Pashinyan this too, and he will confirm it: everything that is good for Armenians is acceptable and good for Russia,” Putin said.

‼️ Armenia's PM, Nikol Pashinyan, continues questioning the Armenian Genocide. "We must also revisit the history of the Armenian Genocide. We must understand what happened, why it happened, and how we perceived it—with whose help. How did it happen that in 1939, the genocide was not on the agenda, but by 1950, it had appeared?" Previously, various officials of the Armenian government also promoted Armenian Genocide denial narratives. This is happening within the context of the so-called Turkish-Armenian 'normalization' process, fully encouraged and backed by the U.S. and EU, where Armenia is being pressured to reverse the roles between Russia and Turkey, making the genocide one of the key issues to address.

Today we mark the 109th anniversary of the Armenian genocide. Despite the horrors the Armenian people have faced – and continue to face – it has not broken their will to persevere. The Armenian community has overcome the harshest of trials, and yet remains strong and unbowed.

🇦🇲 Pashinyan said that negative stereotypes Armenians hold about Turkey and Azerbaijan were shaped for decades by Soviet security services “Listen, we must learn from our history. We must step out of the world and the frames that were created for us by KGB agents,” the Armenian prime minister said. Pashinyan urged Armenian society to start forming its own views of its neighbors. Zakharova immediately reacted in Telegram, writing something about the Ottoman Empire and pointing out that the KGB was created in 1954 — implying that Russians have nothing to do with it.

🇦🇲🇷🇺🇪🇺 President Putin on Armenia and the EU: "As for Armenia's plans to join the EU, this of course requires special consideration. We have discussed this with PM Pashinyan. I have said several times that we support everything that is beneficial for the Armenian people. We have a special relationship with the Armenian people that has lasted for centuries, and if a particular decision benefits the Armenian people, we won't oppose it. But of course, we must keep in mind certain circumstances that are important both for us and for our partners. For example, our trade turnover with Armenia is 7 billion, while Armenia's GDP is 29 billion, so this is a serious figure. Armenia also receives significant advantages within the EAEU. This concerns agriculture, the processing industry, customs and other duties, the migration sphere, and so on. In my view, it would be the correct thing, both toward the citizens of Armenia and toward us as the main economic partner, to determine this as soon as possible. This is not our business, but for example, holding a referendum would be completely logical, asking the citizens of Armenia what their choice will be. In accordance with that, we would also make the corresponding choice and proceed along the path of a soft, intelligent, and mutually beneficial separation."

BREAKING: Israeli News Channel Kan 11 Insults the 1,700-Year-Old Armenian Presence in Jerusalem. [Video with subtitles⬇️] On Thursday, May 15, 2025, following Armenia’s Eurovision performance of “Survivor” by Armenian artist PARG, a commentator on Israel’s Kan 11 News mockingly stated: “I can’t believe we gave ‘these’ guys an entire quarter in Jerusalem. Survivor — that’s how we feel after watching this song.” This was not only insulting, but egregiously inaccurate. Though Kan 11 brands itself as a news channel, its grasp of historical fact appears to be tenuous at best — and nonexistent at worst. So allow me to provide a brief historical input: Breaking News for Kan 11: •The Armenian presence in Jerusalem dates back to 301 AD — the year Armenia became the first nation in the world to officially adopt Christianity as its state religion. This milestone led to a wave of Armenian pilgrimage to the Holy Land and, over centuries, the stone-by-stone establishment of what is now known as the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem. •No one "gave us" a quarter in Jerusalem. We fought for it, built it, over centuries, preserved it and continue to defend it to this day. In the face of such ignorant and racially-laced commentary, we assert — and will always assert — the truth: The Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem has always been Armenian, and it will always remain Armenian. We are a people who have endured genocide, dispossession, cultural erasure, and generational trauma — and yet we remain, we are still, against all odds, still here. We remain more united than ever, and we remain resolute in defending our rightful and ancestral presence in the Holy City that is Jerusalem. Kan 11 crossed a red line. An immediate public apology is required to the Armenian people — for the insult, for the distortion, and for the disgrace.

Pashinyan gave a sharp response to Putin, criticizing the CSTO as a useless organization “We are currently not participating in CSTO activities, for a simple reason. To this day, we are unable to explain to our people, our citizens, why the CSTO [in 2022] failed to fulfill its obligations,” the Armenian Prime Minister told Putin. The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is a military-political alliance between Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Armenia, built around a principle similar to NATO’s Article 5. In 2021 and 2022, during clashes on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, Yerevan officially requested CSTO assistance. However, none of the allies provided support. Moreover, Belarus, a military partner of Armenia within the alliance, officially supplied weapons to Azerbaijan. And Russia, in turn, continued to exploit and fuel this conflict for its own political interests for a long time.

In his address to the people, the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan criticized #Russia for failing to fulfill its security obligations towards the Armenians of #NagornoKarabakh and Armenia. He also warned about the threats to #Armenia's independence and sovereignty, indirectly hinting at the destabilizing factor of Russia. "#Azerbaijan's attacks against Armenia in recent years lead to an obvious conclusion that the external #security systems in which we are involved aren't effective from the point of view of Armenia's state interests and security" said Pashinyan. He enumerated a number of events, such as the events of Khtsaberd, Parukh, and many other cases of intimidation of the people of #Artsakh, as well as the latest Azerbaijani attack, noting that all of these raise serious questions about the activities and motives of the Russian peacekeeping troops in Nagorno #Karabakh. Pashinyan also said that contrary to the tripartite statement of November 9, 2020, the #Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh are facing the danger of ethnic cleansing today. He mentioned that humanitarian goods have entered Artsakh, but this doesn't solve the existing crisis. "If real living conditions for Nagorno Karabakh Armenians in their homes and effective mechanisms of protection from ethnic cleansing are not created, the probability that Nagorno Karabakh Armenians will see the only way to save their lives and identity is to leave their homeland. The responsibility for such a development of events will fall entirely on Azerbaijan, which has adopted the policy of ethnic cleansing, and on the #Russian peacekeeping troops in Nagorno Karabakh" said Pashinyan. He added that his government is working with international partners on the formation of international mechanisms to ensure the rights and security of the Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh: "But if these efforts do not give concrete results, the government will welcome our sisters and brothers from Nagorno Karabakh to Armenia with all care" he said, noting, however, that the above-mentioned issues will become more serious with this. Nikol Pashinyan insisted that Armenia has never betrayed its allies, but the analysis of events shows that "those security systems and those allies that we have relied on for many years, have set the task of showing our vulnerabilities and justifying the impossibility of an independent state for the Armenian people." Moreover, according to him, such policy has nothing to do with the government established by the revolution in 2018, the manifestations of this policy were also before that. Without naming the states, Pashinyan said that some partners are making more and more efforts to show Armenia's vulnerability in the field of security, putting internal security and stability under attack. He accused those partners of not fulfilling all the norms of diplomatic, interstate relations, ethics, correctness, even the obligations assumed by the contracts. "We call and urge our partners to respect our state and sovereignty. We express our determined will to strengthen our statehood, sovereignty, democracy, external and internal security. We call on the international community to express unwavering support for Armenia's independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and democracy" urged Pashinyan. He considered it necessary to strengthen, transform, and supplement Armenia's external and internal security tools, cooperating with all partners ready for mutually beneficial steps. The prime minister also spoke about the Rome Statute, saying that the decision to ratify it was made in December 2022, when it became clear that the #CSTO and the Armenian-Russian strategic partnership tools are not enough to ensure Armenia's external security. Pashinyan once again repeated that this decision is not directed against Russia. "The deep meaning of the events happening to us in recent years and today is exactly this: will Armenia be a sovereign, free, democratic state, or will it be a fearful periphery" he said. The Prime Minister insisted that we should go after the movement for the defense of Armenia's #independence, knowing that it will not be easy, but "it will happen".

⚡️Nikol Pashinyan: Netanyahu's statement has nothing to do with the interests of the Republic of Armenia, the people or the Armenian people. ''And in general, we need to understand whether we want the recognition or non-recognition of the Armenian Genocide to become a geopolitical bargaining chip in someone else's hands, which has nothing to do with the interests of our state and the interests of the people.'' Pashinyan said he had spoken with international partners about why they were recognizing the Armenian Genocide, and he said the main motivation was to get more votes in political elections. Source:

The Dashnak lobby in the United States invested great effort in that direction. The Armenian people have said the Karabakh movement will not continue. We will take every possible step to stop all attempts to continue the Karabakh movement. This is because the people of the Republic of Armenia voted for this vision.

🇦🇲🇦🇿🇷🇺 Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Bayramov reveals how Russia tried to save Armenia during the 2020 war. On October 9, during a trilateral meeting in Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov presented a document proposing a ceasefire without withdrawing Armenian forces from the line of contact. It suggested that Russian peacekeepers, together with Azerbaijani forces, be stationed on the eastern part of the line, and Russian peacekeepers with Armenian forces on the western part, without any extra conditions. The Armenian side, according to Bayramov, opposed the document as well, demanding that the Azerbaijani side return to the situation that existed in September 2020. We also know for a fact that: 1. In the first days of the war, the General Staff of the Armenian Army reported to Pashinyan that the war had to be stopped as soon as possible, since the longer it continued, the more Armenia would lose. 2. We also know and Pashinyan himself later admitted, that he rejected ceasefire proposals from the Russian side on October 19 as well. The conclusions, I believe, are crystal clear. This is what local imbeciles refer to as "Russian betrayal."

🇷🇺🇦🇲 The Kremlin stated that Armenia may leave the CSTO if it is no longer interested in membership and threatened with “deep trade contradictions that will primarily harm Armenia.” “If Yerevan no longer needs membership in such an important organization for ensuring regional security due to its national interests, it is free to make the corresponding decision and leave this organization,” said Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov. Earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan stated that the republic does not intend to return to full participation in the CSTO. According to him, Yerevan’s interest in the organization has been “exhausted.” The prime minister also said he would be glad if the CSTO itself excluded Armenia: this, in his words, would spare the country’s authorities the dilemma of whether to leave the organization or not. Peskov also stated that if Armenia decides to leave the EAEU and join the EU, it will face “deep trade contradictions that will primarily harm Armenia.”
