Russian Ambassador to Armenia Sergey Kopyrkin has said no preconditions have been set for a meeting between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I am not aware of any such scenario. As far as I know, no preconditions have been put forward for this meeting,” Kopyrkin said, according to Sputnik Armenia.
The ambassador was responding to a question about whether the meeting depended on Armenia choosing Russia’s Rosatom to build a new nuclear power plant or progress toward extending the Russian concession to manage Armenian railways.
Putin previously invited Pashinyan to Moscow to discuss bilateral cooperation following talks on the sidelines of a Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Bishkek.
In early October, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said no date had been set for the visit.
