Russia prefers to wait for the official election results in Armenia before sending Nikol Pashinyan congratulations on his electoral victory. This was stated at a briefing by Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation.

“It is important here to wait for some kind of definitive official results. We prefer to wait for official conclusions,” the Kremlin spokesman emphasized.

Peskov explained that during the voting, numerous reports of violations came in from Armenia, which is why the official results are particularly important.
