>**Former member of the Armenian parliament and current leader of the Mother Armenia opposition bloc, represented in the Yerevan City Council by 12 deputies, Andranik Tevanyan unexpectedly visited the separatist-controlled part of the Donbas region of Ukraine.

>Armenian media note that Tevanyan became the first politician from the post-Soviet space to visit Donbass.

I dunno bro. Any politician in Azerbaijan, in opposition or ruling party, who would do such a thing would be deemed a traitor.
This one is funny
>”We have sent a message everywhere that we consider Russia a mediator and guarantor in the settlement of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In the future, it can ensure the implementation of any agreements reached between Armenia and Azerbaijan,” Tevanyan emphasized.
>He accused the Armenian authorities of *”making unilateral concessions to Azerbaijan and Turkey under the pretext of the peace process* .” Tevanyan said the bloc he leads is against this and insists on changes in both the country’s domestic and foreign policies.
>Although Tevanyan immediately added that he is not against building relations between Armenia and the West, although he admits: “these relations should not be built at the expense of worsening ties with Russia.”
How is that even possible? Recognizing the occupation of Donbas by Russia and building relations with the West sounds like an oxymoron.
