Viktor Krivopuskov: Pashinyan should be held accountable for the ban on Russians’ entry to Armenia

The head of the Russian-Armenian friendship society, former CEO of Russian Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States Affairs, Compatriots Living Abroad, and International Humanitarian Cooperation, Viktor Krivopuskov, commented to Alpha News on the ban on his entry to Armenia.

“It is Pashinyan’s decision, nobody comments on it. I was told that I was undesirable for the Armenian people. Pashinyan’s list of non-entry Russians should at least be known. If, for instance, Margarita Simonian and Konstantin Zatulin were at least notified, no one warned me at all. I was told about it directly at Yerevan Zvartnots Airport. It is absolutely unacceptable from a legal perspective. Pashinyan should compensate me for moral damages, I’m joking, of course, but still,” Krivopuskov said.

According to him, such actions cause moral and political damages not only to individuals banned from entering Armenia, but also to Russia and Russians.

“It is unacceptable. Pashinyan should be held accountable for this. I hope that the Russian authorities will pay attention to this unreliable step on the part of the Armenian leadership,” Krivopuskov concluded.

In addition, Krivopuskov noted that Pashinyan organized the humanitarian catastrophe in Nagorno-Karabakh “for expanding transport corridors for the sake of Turkiye, Azerbaijan, and for the sake of the goals Soros has set for him”.
