Former deputy speaker of the Armenian parliament and member of the Republican Party of Armenia Eduard Sharmazanov commented on Nikol Pashinyan’s decision to send peacekeeping forces to unrest-hit Kazakhstan.

"It’s utterly ridiculous that the man who grabbed power in Armenia through street protests in 2018 stands against his Kazakh "revolutionary brothers”. The “prime minister”, who has discredited the CSTO more than anyone else, has become a defender of the CSTO Charter,” he wrote on Facebook on Thursday.

“Since you know how to write a "letter" to the CSTO, why didn't you do it on November 16, 2020, when the enemy launched an attack?

“By sending troops to Kazakhstan, Pashinyan admits that the authorities were right on March 1, 2008, and he is a criminal. "Sovereign" prime minister… "proud revolutionaries", enjoy!” Sharmazanov said.
