🇷🇺🇦🇲 On April 1, President Vladimir Putin held talks at the Kremlin with Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, who arrived in Moscow on a working visit.
💬 President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Pashinyan, friends,
We are delighted to welcome you in Moscow. Thank you very much for accepting our invitation and coming here.
We can see that domestic political processes in Armenia are gaining momentum, with elections approaching. In this context, I would like to emphasise several key points: such processes often become more intense during election campaigns, as is the case not only in Armenia, I believe, but also in Russia and other countries. However, this escalation must not be allowed to affect relations between Russia and Armenia.
We have discussed this many times. Russia and Armenia have special relationships which have evolved over centuries rather than decades. We are united by our common history as well as our cooperation to solve the challenges that we faced in years past. Crucially, we are also united by civilizational affinity. I have already told you this privately before, and I can say it publicly now: we are always in favour of anything that benefits the Armenian people, and you can always rely on it.
As for economic cooperation, it continues to develop at a solid pace. Trade reached approximately $11 billion the year before last, and amounted to $6.4 billion in 2025. <...>
We observe that there is an ongoing discussion in Armenia concerning the development of relations with the European Union. We remain entirely calm about this, understanding that each nation endeavours to maximise the advantages of cooperation with third countries. However, this must be transparent and articulated honestly, in advance, as it were, “on the shore,” beforehand.
Simultaneous membership in the Customs Union with the European Union and the #EAEU is impossible; it is simply untenable by definition. The issue is not even a political one; it is purely economic. <...>
There are also numerous other issues today, at this present moment. Perhaps years will pass, and we – the EAEU and the European Union – I hope this will eventually be the case, given that we reside on the same continent – will be able to resolve them. <...>
Now, regarding energy. I hope the situation will improve there as well. However, currently, as you are aware, energy prices, gas prices, for instance, in Europe exceed 600 dollars per 1,000 cubic metres, whereas Russia provides gas to Armenia at 177.5 per 1,000 cubic metres. The disparity is vast, the difference is substantial. <...>
Now, turning to security issues. Of course, the most sensitive issue to this day – and we recognise this, we discuss it often – is everything relating to #Karabakh. <...> But I think it is also clear that, after you recognised Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan in Prague in 2022, it simply became wholly inappropriate for the #CSTO to become involved in a process that had taken on an intra-Azerbaijani dimension. <...>
Incidentally, thanks to your efforts and those of the President of Azerbaijan, I believe you have now managed to stabilise relations. The US President has played an active role in this, and I understand transport links are being unfrozen, and so on. But I think we also need to draw a line under this matter. And it would be better if this did not become entangled in the domestic political process, especially during an election campaign.
<...>
Let me say again that, whatever happens, we in Russia will always be guided by what is best for the Armenian people. I have said this to you before, and I want to emphasise it once again.
🤝 And I would like to express my hope that, regardless of the outcome of the elections in Armenia, our shared commitment to building and strengthening #RussiaArmenia ties will continue.
Thank you.

#Pashinyan, Primo Ministro dell'#Armenia, parla in #Svizzera: "Dobbiamo rivisitare la storia del genocidio armeno. Dobbiamo capire cosa è successo e perché è successo, come l'abbiamo percepito e attraverso chi lo abbiamo percepito. Come mai nel 1939 non c'era un piano di riconoscimento del genocidio armeno e come mai nel 1950 è emerso il piano?".
Il Presidente armeno, #Pashinyan, lancia un messaggio di auguri al popolo azero per la festa religiosa in corso:
"Congratulazioni alla Repubblica dell'#Azerbaigian e al popolo azero in occasione del #KurbanBayram. Auguriamo pace e prosperità ai nostri Paesi e ai nostri popoli".

Pashinyan, Trump’s “Board of Peace,” and the Washington Pilgrimage
Nikol Pashinyan didn’t fly to Washington for “peace.” He flew to be photographed inside Trump’s new private UN, the Board of Peace — a body where one man chairs for life, invites who he wants, and gets veto power over everyone else, including the countries paying the bills.
Armenia is listed as a founding member, which sounds grand until you read the charter and realize “membership” mostly means buying a ticket to Trump’s parallel world order show.
On paper, the Board of Peace was created to oversee Gaza and “stability” after war. In reality, it’s being rolled out as a rival stage to the United Nations, built around Trump’s personal authority and a small club of leaders who either need Washington, hate Brussels, or both.
For a conflict‑torn, isolated Armenia, Pashinyan is clearly betting that sitting at that table is cheaper than being left outside when deals on borders, corridors, and frozen wars get cut. The price is obvious: you legitimize a structure that centralizes global “peace” in the hands of a man who treats diplomacy like branding.
The irony is that while Pashinyan is flying to Washington to pose as a responsible statesman in a “peace council,” Western business media are already calling him a budding autocrat for his domestic behavior — up to and including criminal cases against the Catholicos and pressure on the church at home.
So abroad he’s a founding father of peace; at home, he’s being profiled as another leader who wraps crackdowns in the language of reform and national security.
Trump needs this photo‑op to prove his Board of Peace is real, not just a Davos press release with a billion‑dollar membership fee clause. Pashinyan needs it to show he still has powerful friends after losing the old security architecture and much of his reputation. Both sides will talk about “sovereignty,” “stability,” and “a new model of peace.”
The only real question is whose interests this board will actually protect when the next small country is told to sign on the dotted line.
