Times are not easy for our region either. In his speech at the plenary session of the 7th Eastern Economic Forum ‘On the road to a multipolar world’ in Vladivostok, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan emphasized the challenges that have existed in our region for a long time are intensifying.
Especially Armenia’s strategic partner Russia is focused on Ukraine, there are clear concerns that this could lead to destabilization in South Caucasus.
Azerbaijan launched the war in 2020 when the international community, including Russia, was entirely focused on the issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pashinyan said in his speech.
“However, we hope that through closely cooperating with Russia, as well as our other partners, we will be able to manage and control the regional situation, which is highly important for global security as well,” the PM said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and heads of other states are also participating in the forum. A meeting between the Prime Minister of Armenia and the President of the Russian Federation is planned today.
