Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has set a goal to neutralize Russian influence in the country and replace it with another one. During the traditional September 22 briefings, the deputy of the opposition faction “Armenia”, ARF representative Ishkhan Saghatelyan, said this. Accordingto the opposition figure, it is not just about handing over the concessionary management of the Armenian railway to another country. “Pashinyan has set a goal to neutralize Russian influence in Armeniaby replacing it with another one. It's not just about the railroad, it's about the 102nd Russian military base. The Armenian authorities are engaging the country in a new adventure with their policy, which will lead to severe economic consequences and serious security problems, ”Saghatelyan said. In his opinion, what happened should be considered in this context. The deputy did not consider the rumors about the transfer of the railway concession to Kazakhstan to be accidental. “Obviously one thing: everything will be done so that the governance will eventually be handed over. This in turn will have some consequences,” concluded the MP of “Armenia” faction.
