Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has described the anti-Armenian attacks in Moscow as an attempt to destabilize Russia.
“The anti-Armenian attacks by Azerbaijanis living in Russia are not only an expression of the Azerbaijani’s leadership’s anti-Armenian rhetoric, but also an attempt to destabilize Russia and turn it into a stage for ethnic clashes,” PM Pashinyan said in an interview with RBC.
“There is no doubt that the Russian authorities have all the means and capabilities to prevent such a development,” he added.
“But our compatriots in Russia, in their turn, must record that it’s necessary not to give in to provocations and that third forces with ambitious anti-Armenian aspirations in the South Caucasus are interested in destabilizing Russia. We will not allow it,” Pashinyan said.
The interview will be aired early next week.
