Nikol Pashinyan does not like the vocabulary used in Russia related to the Armenian government and state structure.
Russian TV channels may stop broadcasting in Armenia if they do not comply with the demands of the country’s authorities. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this at a press conference, reports Aysor.am on Tuesday, May 7.
According to him, Yerevan expects that broadcasts from Russian TV channels will respect the citizens of Armenia and the state order in the country.
“And we don’t want something impossible. It is hard to imagine that Russia will allow the broadcasting of a television company that broadcasts the vocabulary that is used today when talking about the structure of the government and state of Armenia even with 5% such a body of vocabulary… And for it to continue broadcasting on the territory of the Russian Federation This is unacceptable, “said Pashinyan.
According to him, if the demands are not fulfilled, these TV channels cannot continue broadcasting in Armenia.
“No, we will ask five times and then let them blame themselves – the next step will be taken exactly,” added the prime minister.
Let’s recall that in March, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said that the authorities are discussing the possibility of the country joining the European Union. According to him, it is important for Yerevan to expand the circle of partners and allies.
The European Parliament also adopted a resolution to consider changing relations with Armenia if it wants to obtain candidate status.
Previously, Armenia suspended its participation in the CSTO. Pashinyan said his country can no longer rely on Russia as its main defense and military partner.
