Russia has never been the initiator of any freezing of relations with Armenia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated at a press conference Thursday. "Yes, we [i.e. Russia] remember when many of the current official figures of Armenia, while still in opposition, were calling to leave the CSTO, EAEU. And when Prime Minister Pashinyan came to power, we did not even have the slightest desire to leave Yerevan," added the Russian FM.
