Armenia’s Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s spokesperson, Arman Yeghoyan, has commented on Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s most recent statement on why Pashinyan was not raising the matter of weapons supply to Azerbaijan before Russia, too.

“Addressing Mr. Lukashenko’s statement, I consider it necessary to make several important notes,” Yeghoyan told Armenpress. “Sadly, Mr. Lukashenko continues the practice of publicizing the content of closed meetings.
