A separate meeting between Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan and Russian President Vladimir Putin is not planned during the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council meeting in Astana, Kazakhstan, scheduled to take place on May 29, TASS reported, citing the Kremlin spokesperson, Armenpress reports.
Grigoryan is representing Armenia at the summit instead of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who earlier said he would not attend due to the campaigning period in Armenia.
“No, a separate meeting is not planned; however, if they wish, they can have a conversation on the platforms of the summit,” TASS quoted Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov as saying when asked at a press briefing about a possible meeting between the Armenian deputy prime minister and Putin.
