The controversial statement came as Armenia–Russia ties seem to go through another round of crisis.
While Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan attended in-person, the Armenian Army is not taking part in the parade.
The accusations were made by Armenian Parliamentary Speaker Alen Simonyan earlier this week.
The statement came on the same day that the same official met with the Russian Ambassador to Armenia.
The rhetoric echoed similar sentiments made by both Georgian and Russian officials regarding Georgia.
In March, the Armenian Parliament passed a bill that calls on the government to seek EU integration.
Reports indicate that a Kremlin deputy will work on advancing Russian interests ahead of Armenia’s 2026 elections.
