Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan revealed details about his March 13 phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Pashinyan said the call mostly revolved around the danger of escalation in Nagorno Karabakh. “I conveyed my information, my impression, I also underscored that I think that there are problems in the area of responsibility of the Russian peacekeeping forces in Nagorno Karabakh. The most important issue for me in this context is that a very surprising thing happened in Nagorno Karabakh, when the residents of Nagorno Karabakh protested outside the Russian peacekeeping contingent’s headquarters. And this happened after the killings of the police officers. I want to underscore that this also took place in the area of responsibility of the Russian peacekeeping forces in Nagorno Karabakh. This is a concern, and I found it necessary to convey these concerns to the Russian President,” Pashinyan said.
