“One of the leaders of the CSTO claims to have participated in preparing the 44-day war, encouraged, believed, wished victory to Azerbaijan. And after that, should I go discuss matters with the President of Belarus in the CSTO format? Don’t you talk about dignity, principles? There is a situation that in the EAEU, in the CSTO, I will somehow be forced,” he emphasized.
He stated that in the context of CSTO relations, “theoretically one cannot rule out changes if, for example, Belarus itself decides to withdraw from the CSTO, or if Lukashenko utters apology words that are acceptable to the Armenian people.”
At the same time, Armenia recalled its ambassador to Belarus, Razmik Hovhannisyan. He was summoned to Yerevan for consultations, as reported by the spokesperson of the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ani Balyan.
The first reaction to Pashinyan’s ultimatum to Lukashenko has emerged.
Minsk calmly assesses the impulsive statements of Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan, said Alexander Shpakovsky, advisor-envoy of the Belarusian Embassy in Russia.
“We continue to respect the fraternal Armenian people, with whom Belarus has centuries-old historical ties,” he wrote on his Telegram channel.
