I Consider the Discussion of This Topic Artificial: Gevorgyan on the Statement Released by Pashinyan's Press Service
According to a statement released by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's press service, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his support for the 'legitimate authorities' during a phone conversation with Pashinyan. However, there is no such wording in the official Kremlin message. The substantive difference between the two messages has sparked discussions.
In a conversation with journalists, Pashinyan's spokesperson Mane Gevorgyan commented on the publication: 'The statement has been posted on the website, and I have nothing to add to it. If anyone doubts that this does not correspond to reality, they should call the Russian side and say that the Armenian side has released such a statement, do you confirm this? How do the critics imagine it, that we disseminated information that does not correspond to reality, for what reason? I simply consider the discussion of this topic artificial.'
