PanARMENIAN.Net - Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Wednesday, January 8 that Armenia will not be dragged into anti-Iranian or anti-American conflicts.

Pashinyan held consultations on Wednesday to discuss current developments in the region.

“The situation in the region is worrying,” Pashinyan said in a Facebook post.

“Our position remains unchanged. Armenia will not be drawn into anti-Iranian actions, Armenia will not be drawn into anti-American actions.

“And it is our hope and our call on friendly Iran and the United States to immediately begin negotiations to prevent further escalation”.
