Volodin: Russia received in return the meanness and dishonesty of Pashinyan

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan pursues an unfriendly policy towards Russia, cynically using the opportunities provided by our country. This was stated by the chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin.

"According to the deputies of the State Duma, Prime Minister Pashinyan of Armenia is pursuing an unfriendly policy towards the Russian Federation, cynically using the opportunities provided by our country. It's not fair. We have seen all this on the example of Ukraine. It will not lead to anything good," he said, adding that the attitude towards the residents of Armenia is friendly.

Previously in Yerevan recognized the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC), becoming its full member, recalled the speaker of the State Duma.

"All this allows us to conclude that Pashinyan's desire to remain in the EAEU is an attempt to continue using the Eurasian space for financial purposes, which has already given Armenia a 2.5—fold increase in GDP. Politically, all decisions by Pashinyan have already been made," Volodin said.

"We supply gas to Armenia almost 4 times cheaper, to our detriment (the price for Armenia is $ 177.5 / thousand cubic meters. m., in Europe — $ 633 / thousand cubic meters.m.). In this difficult time, we support the economy of Armenia, its citizens. What we get in return is Pashinyan's meanness and dishonesty," he stated.

"It can't go on like this," Volodin said.
