Russian State Duma member: Pashinyan is playing, looking for ways beneficial for himself

Armenia is not withdrawing from the CSTO due to certain concerns; at the same time, the country’s authorities are moving in “another direction”, Alexey Chepa, a member of the State Duma of Russia told Lenta.ru.

“We understand that it is bad, and we can see the dissatisfaction of Armenian citizens. Demonstrations are taking place in Yerevan, including in connection with this,” Chepa noted.

According to him, Armenia is not officially withdrawing from the CSTO, because the country’s prime minister has certain concerns about the complete suspension of relations with Russia. “Pashinyan is playing, looking for ways beneficial for himself,” he said.
