Fear is not a Useful Position: Pashinyan

During the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan responded to a question regarding whether he fears that against the backdrop of intensifying relations with Russia, Armenia might face sanctions from the West. Pashinyan stated,  “Fear is not a useful position; we must work to manage those risks. Of course, we are also greatly concerned about food and energy security. We are experiencing high inflation, which directly impacts social conditions. However, overall, the situation is manageable. There is a problem, but there is no crisis situation. This is also thanks to the support of the Russian Federation.”
