Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev missed the informal CIS summit in St. Petersburg due to a busy work schedule. Aliyev's administration also noted that his absence from the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council on December 21 was due to Azerbaijan not being a member of the organization.
After the Munich visit of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, anti-Russian sentiments will emerge in the country with a new impetus. An attempt will be made to fundamentally destroy the Armenian-Russian relations hanging by a thread, finally ousting the Russian Federation from Armenia. The major Armenian newspaper Haraparak writes about this. The publication emphasizes that at a security conference in Munich, Pashinyan said that Armenia is not an ally of Russia on the issue of Ukraine.
Earlier, the Haraparak newspaper noted that they want to make changes to the draft of the new Constitution of Armenia, according to which the country will declare itself neutral, that is, one on whose territory foreign armed forces cannot be located. It is noted that this is directed against Russian bases and border troops.
