Activists in Armenia have demanded that a criminal case be opened against Solovyov.

Armenian public figures have appealed to the country's prosecutor's office, demanding criminal prosecution of Russian television host Vladimir Solovyov for calling for aggression against Armenia.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," television host Vladimir Solovyov called the possible "loss of Armenia" a "gigantic problem" and stated the possibility of conducting a special military operation in Russia's zone of influence. In connection with this, Ambassador Sergei Kopyrkin was summoned to the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he was handed a note of protest.

The Union of Informed Citizens filed a complaint with the Armenian Prosecutor's Office, demanding that a criminal case be opened against Vladimir Solovyov for publicly calling for aggression (Article 151 of the Armenian Criminal Code). Activists recalled that the provisions of the Armenian Criminal Code may be applied to individuals who have committed a criminal offense outside the country if it is directed against the state interests of Armenia.

"We will monitor the progress of our request to law enforcement agencies and whether they will provide a proper legal assessment," stated the organization's chairman, Daniel Ioannisyan.

The head of the Civil Contract faction in the Armenian parliament, Hayk Konjoryan, commenting on the statements of the Russian TV presenter, noted that "Vladimir Solovyov is associated with Russian pro-government circles, therefore his call is perceived as a threat to Armenia's sovereignty."

"In recent years, Armenia has significantly strengthened the foundations of its statehood and sovereignty. "Any threats to Armenia's sovereignty should become an incentive to greatly strengthen mechanisms for strengthening peace, unblocking borders, developing the economy, and ensuring peaceful coexistence with neighboring states, which is the most important guarantee of our country's sovereignty," Kondjoryan noted in a video posted on his social media page.

"We strongly condemn any statements and actions directed against Armenia's sovereignty, regardless of the country or platform they come from," said Ishkhan Saghatelyan, a representative of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Supreme Body.

At the same time, he expressed bewilderment at the ruling Civil Contract party's reaction to Solovyov's statements. "It's telling that a single statement from a Russian commentator provokes an immediate and extremely harsh reaction, while direct and public threats from high-ranking representatives of Azerbaijan and Turkey have been ignored for years. These threats genuinely call into question Armenia's territorial integrity and are accompanied by blatant interference in the country's internal affairs," he noted.

Artur Osipyan, head of the "My Right" movement, is convinced that Armenia must use "harsher methods than a protest note to Moscow" in response to Solovyov's threats. "In response to Solovyov's call for aggression against Armenia, it is necessary to ensure the withdrawal of the 102nd Russian base from Armenian territory. They need to have at least a modicum of self-respect. "Keeping troops of a state that threatens military aggression on its territory is a serious threat to Armenia and the Armenian people," Osipyan believes. Political analyst Hakob Badalyan expressed the opinion that "the harsh statements of Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov are not emotional improvisation or a manifestation of incompetence." He noted that "such statements objectively fuel the official rhetoric of the Armenian authorities about 'hybrid war' and 'hybrid attacks,' creating an informational background that is convenient for internal and external communication." A situation has developed in which the Russian propagandist is effectively working to strengthen the propaganda agenda of official Yerevan. This, in turn, gives the Armenian authorities the opportunity to appeal to their European partners, particularly Brussels, declaring the intensification of hybrid threats and the need for increased financial support—not limiting it to previous amounts, but demanding a manifold increase," the analyst stated. Badalyan noted, however, that the question of Solovyov's personal gain from such statements "remains open."
