Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan expressed concern that the West could impose sanctions against Armenia for cooperating with Russia.

Pashinyan made the remarks in an interview with the Czech edition of Respekt.

The PM called the sanctions a "red line" for Armenia. He also stressed that Yerevan is "meeting Moscow halfway where possible".

According to him, he has made it clear to the Russian leadership that Armenia should not be sanctioned.

In addition, he noted that Yerevan is trying to be as transparent as possible regarding sanctioned goods.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, claimed that the Russian presence in Armenia does not threaten Yerevan in any way.
