ArmInfo. As a result of Nikol Pashinyan's policy, Armenia had a number of problems in the sphere of foreign policy. For example, Armenia has become an outcast in the CSTO. The press secretary of the Republican Party of Armenia, Eduard Sharmazanov, stated this at a press conference on January 29.

"The difficulties in the CSTO began after Armenia recalled its  representative Yuri Khachaturov. Due to Pashinyan's unprofessional  policy, Armenia lost the post of CSTO Secretary General and this is  only the tip of the iceberg," the RPA press secretary stressed.

Sharmazanov also noted that despite the numerous statements of  Pashinyan, relations with Russia do not cause much optimism: "If  everything is really so wonderful, it seems, tell me, why did the gas  prices go up?" Sharmazanov also criticized the statements of the  Prime Minister that he was against Armenia's entry into the EAEU and  now believes that this step was not entirely correct, but there is  nothing to be done; it will have to be reconciled. "Pashinyan did not  understand that he became the head of the republic and is responsible  for the whole country. Meanwhile, his personal "I" is more important  for him. In addition, how can he then explain the fact that in Davos  he praised in every way EAEU ", the politician asked.

Asked by ArmInfo's correspondent whether the politician continues to  state that Serzh Sargsyan's decision to join the EEU was in the  interests of Armenia, Sharmazanov said: "Armenia's accession to the  EEU was the only right decision for Armenia. And if we have some  opportunity today to ensure economic growth, this is solely at the  expense of the EAEU market. Where could we sell our goods on such a  scale, where our goods will be sold? Because of Pashinyan's policy,  we became outcasts in the CSTO, became an unpredictable partner

The Prime Minister played with his actions with the authority of this  structure. Nobody knows what to expect from us? How can we cooperate  if they don't know what to expect from us, if they don't trust us. I  believe that these are dangerous phenomena that should be dealt with.  We have no other alternative than the EEU, "the RPA spokesman  concluded.

To note, on January 25, at a briefing at the headquarters of the  Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) in Moscow, the Prime Minister  stated that when he was a deputy he voted against joining Armenia to  the Eurasian Union, and later held hearings about Armenia's  withdrawal from the EEU.
