“No, that’s impossible,” Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told a press briefing Thursday in response to a question about a possible link between the recent anti-Armenian statements by the chairman of the Caucasus Muslims' Board, Allahshukur Pashazade, and the ongoing processes around the Armenian Apostolic Church.

“I don’t follow the statements of Azerbaijan’s spiritual leader. Perhaps that’s my shortcoming, but I don’t follow his statements even on international platforms,” Pashinyan noted.

But in his assessment, if someone wants to find a link, they will find one.
