The Kremlin is satisfied with Yerevan's statements that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan had been misinformed about Iskander missiles, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Sputnik on Monday.
Earlier in the day, the Armenpress news agency reported, citing Pashinyan's spokeswoman, that the prime minister came to the conclusion, after a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, that he had received an incorrect report about the missiles.
A political crisis erupted in Yerevan after the deputy chief of the Armenian general staff mocked Pashinyan's controversial comment about the alleged failure of Russian-supplied Iskander missiles during the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. This triggered a series of military dismissals.

Meanwhile, opposition activists have set up a tent camp near parliament and called on the prime minister to step down.
