Previously, Pashinyan visited Russia in mid-May, several days after he had taken the prime minister's office after having led opposition protests in Armenia. During his trip to the Black Sea resort city of Sochi, Pashinyan met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) summit.
