Armenia –

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is ready to work against Russia to maintain his power. Andranik Tevanyan, an MP from the opposition "Armenia" Faction of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, stated this during Friday’s press briefings in the NA.

He accused Pashinyan of dealings with Turkey and Azerbaijan—and to the detriment of Armenian-Russian allied relations.

"Nikol Pashinyan seeks to transfer Karabakh [(Artsakh)] to the makeup of Azerbaijan, pushing the Russian peacekeepers out of there. Its purpose is to make no sense of their presence there, and later to ensure the pulling out of the 102nd Russian military base from [Armenia’s] Gyumri [city]," Tevanyan added.

Also, the opposition lawmaker expressed a conviction that by meeting the demands of the presidents of Turkey and Azerbaijan, Pashinyan is in fact attempting to stay in his seat of power.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
