Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan publicly humiliated Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

Axar.az reports that this was revealed by former Belarusian Minister of Culture Pavel Latushka on his social media page.

"This happens when you're not surrounded by palace courtiers who agree with everything," he said.

It should be noted that Pashinyan and Lukashenko had a dispute during the EAEU summit. When Pashinyan announced he would attend the meeting in Minsk online, Lukashenko objected, but Pashinyan reiterated that his statement "remains valid."

Previously, Nikol Pashinyan had declared that no Armenian official would visit Minsk during Lukashenko's presidency.

The Armenian Prime Minister also attended the summit in St. Petersburg on December 26 online, citing a "COVID-19 infection" as the reason.
