During the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) summit in Turkmenistan, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko joked when Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stood between him and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

The joke was made while the leaders of the CIS countries were taking a group photo before their meeting.

"He will not escape from us," Lukashenko told Aliyev regarding Pashinyan, the Pul Pervogo (The First's Press Pool) Telegram channel reports.
