Pashinyan Heads to Moscow. Will Macron and Kallas Be Offended?

09 May 2025 [10:10] - TODAY.AZ
Despite the European Union’s clearly expressed "unwillingness" to see candidates (or those aspiring to become candidates) at the Victory Day Parade in Moscow, Nikol Vovaevich Pashinyan grabbed his overcoat, pulled on his cap, and set off for the Russian capital.

On May 9, he will take part in the celebrations on Red Square — shoulder to shoulder with those from whom, according to his own rhetoric, Armenia is supposedly "distancing itself." Even more amusing is that Armenian troops will not participate in the parade.

Given the passionate speeches about a "European choice" and the approval of a draft law on EU integration, Pashinyan’s move seems, at the very least, odd. Of course, the Armenian Prime Minister has already explained to a puzzled public that this is supposedly a "balanced foreign policy," but it seems neither Brussels nor even Moscow truly believes that.

It will be interesting to see how Vovaevich’s European friends explain all this. What will Kaja Kallas or Macron say? Did Macron shake his hand in Paris for nothing? Will there be a reaction, or will they stay silent?

For now, Pashinyan continues to waver between Moscow and Europe — clumsily and comically. The only question is: how long can this Yerevan acrobat keep up the act?
