Russia Outraged At Its Ally Armenia For Hosting Zelensky: ‘Whose Side Of History Are You On?’<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Russia is seething after its Caucasus regional ally Armenia decided to host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a European summit earlier this week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Moscow is further warning against Yerevan pursuing closer relations with the European Union as well. The Kremlin slammed Zelensky being hosted there, right in Russia’s own backward, as “incomprehensible”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Russian society, with deep indignation and bewilderment, not only saw but remembered that Armenia, which we are used to considering a friendly, brotherly country, served as a platform. For whom? For a terrorist,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0Thursday.<\/p>\n

“The current, illegitimate Kyiv regime has been issuing threats to strike Moscow during the annual parade on May 9<\/strong>, a day sacred to our peoples… And no one in Armenia\u2019s current leadership rebuked Zelensky. So whose side of history are you on?<\/strong>\u201d she posed.<\/p>\n

“Such a course by the Armenian authorities will sooner or later lead to Yerevan\u2019s irreversible involvement in Brussels\u2019 anti-Russian line, with all the ensuing political and economic consequences for Armenia,” she said.<\/p>\n

However, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has responded to the pressure, stating: \u201cBack in 2022-2023 I already stated that, on the issue of Ukraine, we are not an ally of Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n

He is also reportedly refusing to attend Moscow\u2019s Victory Day parade on Saturday, saying he needs to stay in his country in order to prepare for parliamentary elections scheduled for June 7.<\/p>\n

Armenia has long been a key member of the regional Russian-led bloc, the\u00a0Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). However, Armenia froze its participation since 2024, outraged over\u00a0Russia’s failure to\u00a0protect ethnic Armenians during\u00a0Azerbaijan\u2019s 2023 takeover of Nagorno-Karabakh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Russia since played a ‘peacekeeping’ role with some limited troop deployments, however, Armenian Christians had already been booted from the ancient enclave.<\/p>\n

So relations have been fraying, to say the least. PM Pashinyan made clear<\/a> Thursday: “We have sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and I have said that we are not allies of Russia on the issue of Ukraine.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
