Yesterday, in the office of the ruling party, a meeting of the party’s initiative group took place with the participation of the Prime Minister of Armenia, reported by “Graparak.” It is noted that Pashinyan delivered only a three-minute speech about his assessments and impressions, and occasionally made observational remarks during other speeches. Key points from the article:
From Pashinyan’s brief speech, members of the ruling party got the impression that he was not very satisfied with the outcomes of the Brussels meeting. He implied that he did not receive assurances that the USA and the West are ready to smooth over any obstacles that arise in the process of diversifying Armenia’s economy or to mitigate unwanted consequences. Suddenly, if Russia closes the Lars road or creates other barriers, Europe does not promise to provide an alternative immediately.
Nevertheless, Pashinyan believes that cooperation with the West must continue. He humorously avoided the question of promoting LGBT community interests. The final viewpoint of Armenia’s National Security Secretary Grigoryan was that his predictions were confirmed, and he did not even expect the West to offer more than he anticipated.
