I want to reveal a secret about the first meeting between the Russian president and me in Sochi in 2018. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this in an interview to Public Television.

"The Russian president said, 'I know that there are many rumors that Russia interferes in the affairs of various countries, constantly belittles their sovereignty.' He reaffirmed that he has unconditional respect for Armenia's independence, sovereignty, and freedom to make decisions. We essentially build our relationship on the agreements reached in that first conversation. We are not changing anything, we have not refused to fulfill any of our obligations," said Pashinyan.
