Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said that Yerevan would not object if Russia decides to withdraw its military base from Armenia, Armenpress reports.
Pashinyan made the remarks at a briefing with journalists following a meeting of the Armenian government.
“During this period, we have never raised the issue of the Russian military base. We do not consider the presence of Russia’s 102nd Military Base on the territory of Armenia a vital necessity. If Russia decides to withdraw the military base from Armenia, we will not object, but if they want to stay, we are also ready to discuss it. But during this period, we have never raised these issues,” Pashinyan noted.
It should be recalled that, speaking to journalists after his meeting with Pashinyan in Bishkek, Russian President Vladimir Putin touched upon the issue of the Russian military base in Armenia. He emphasized that if Armenia believes it does not need the Russian military base, they could leave there tomorrow.
