Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin posted on Telegram anonymous footage of the meeting between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin.
Also, Zarubin commented on the negotiations and presented his own interpretation of the events.
“There is always an ambulance in the motorcade. But on that day, these cars inevitably attracted more attention than usual,” Zarubin begins his report by saying.
According to the journalist, “a certain tension was felt even before the meeting.”
Then Zarubin focuses on a brief exchange of views between Armenian and Russian Foreign Ministers Ararat Mirzoyan and Sergey Lavrov, where a brief question is raised: “The European Union?”
“The Armenian leadership has long made it clear that it is preparing to lead the country to the European Union, and, of course, journalists and millions of residents of both countries have long been interested in how Nikol Pashinyan imagines this. After all, Armenia is a member of the Eurasian Union,” the journalist states in his report.
Subsequently, Zarubin draws attention to the fact that during his conversation with Putin, the Armenian premier used a pen and a notebook.
“With a notebook and a pen. He began to take notes, sometimes as if surprised by what he heard,” the Russian journalist comments.
According to Zarubin, everyone is used to the fact that the beginning of such meetings in public usually passes very dryly, ceremonially, “but this time all the problematic issues were stated directly, one after the other.”
“It seems that all the notes are finished. But after a few seconds, Pashinyan reaches for the notebook again, as Putin continues,” Zarubin says.
And referring to the discussion on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue by the Armenian and Russian leaders, Zarubin draws attention to the “perfect silence.”
“There is perfect silence in the Kremlin’s representative office. Even the journalists, who are constantly dropping something with noise, are not heard. But now, it seems, you can even feel the breathing of everyone in the hall,” Pavel Zarubin notes.
