  • Published February 12, 2026

Armenian media outlets and opposition commentators are raising questions about Russian ties within the family of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, highlighting what they describe as a double standard in the government’s approach to national security and foreign influence.

According to documents cited by the Armenian outlet Ishkhanutyun, Prime Minister Pashinyan’s brother, Armen Vovayevich Pashinyan, holds Russian citizenship. The outlet reported that the materials in its possession point not only to Russian citizenship but to broader connections with Russia, though no official confirmation has been provided by Armenian authorities.
