Nikol Pashinyan's government does not represent the interests of the Armenian people, MP Aram Vardevanyan of the opposition Hayastan bloc said at a protest outside the Foreign Ministry in central Yerevan on Thursday, addressing Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
The top Russian official arrived in Armenia on a two-day working visit on Wednesday. He today met with his Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan.
Vardevanyan stated that all those, who Lavrov is expected to meet in Yerevan during his visit, do not represent the interests of Armenia and Artsakh.
Meanwhile, the parliamentarian highlighted that Russia has been and remains Armenia's strategic ally. According to him, the authorities have done everything possible to put relations between Yerevan and Moscow at risk.
"Once this team is ousted, Armenia will become a strong and real guarantor of Artsakh's security and all threats to Armenian-Russian relations will be eliminated,” Vardevanian said, adding even if the authorities “make promises or express readiness to sign various documents, none of this will be legally binding.”
