Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is ready to work against Russia to maintain his power. Andranik Tevanyan, an MP from the opposition "Armenia" Faction of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, stated this during Friday’s press briefings in the NA.

He accused Pashinyan of dealings with Turkey and Azerbaijan—and to the detriment of Armenian-Russian allied relations.

"Nikol Pashinyan seeks to transfer Karabakh [(Artsakh)] to the makeup of Azerbaijan, pushing the Russian peacekeepers out of there. Its purpose is to make no sense of their presence there, and later to ensure the pulling out of the 102nd Russian military base from [Armenia’s] Gyumri [city]," Tevanyan added.

Also, the opposition lawmaker expressed a conviction that by meeting the demands of the presidents of Turkey and Azerbaijan, Pashinyan is in fact attempting to stay in his seat of power.
