Hraparak daily of Armenia writes as follows, in particular: In order to weaken Russian influence, [Armenian PM] Nikol Pashinyan claims the title of hero, about which he makes various allusions in various environments.

For example, we were told that during a meeting with representatives of [Armenia’s] civil society who were leaving for Baku [the capital of Azerbaijan], he said that his statue should be erected in Baku that by resolving the Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)] issue, he freed not only Armenia, but also Azerbaijan from the Russian yoke.
