Eight Years Ago, Armenia Was Viewed as a De Facto Satellite of Russia: Macron

Eight years ago, no one would have come here, and the fact that we have so many first visits to Armenia is indeed a good indicator. This was stated by French President Emmanuel Macron during the 8th Eastern Partnership Summit.

“This country was viewed by many nations at the negotiating table eight years ago as a de facto satellite of Russia, and Nikol organized the Velvet Revolution and decided to demarcate the country, winning as a result, and he determined that peace and Europe are the primary aspirations,” he said.
