The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is preparing a detailed response to official Yerevan regarding a number of statements. The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, announced this today, September 25, on the air of “Russia 24”.
“Moscow drew attention to a series of statements that were untrue and contrary to the development of bilateral relations, which were made by both the Prime Minister of Armenia and official representatives of Yerevan,” the diplomat said.
According to her, a detailed answer to this will be given in the near future.
Previously, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov stated that Moscow will continue dialogue with the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyanhowever, I categorically disagree with the reproaches against Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh.
During his address to fellow citizens last Sunday, Nikol Pashinyan said that the events of recent years have shown the “ineffectiveness” of the security structures that include Armenia and there are “serious questions also regarding the goals and motives of the activities of Russian peacekeeping troops in Nagorno-Karabakh.”
According to Pashinyan, although Armenia did not violate its allied obligations, “the analysis of events shows that the security systems and allies on which we have relied for many years have set the task of showing our vulnerability and justifying the impossibility of the Armenian people having an independent state.” The Prime Minister called on the country’s residents to make a choice: whether they support independence or becoming a “remote province.”
In recent weeks, the rhetoric between Armenia and Russia has been characterized by high mutual tension, with the parties making accusations against each other even at the official level. However, this is the first time Pashinyan has spoken so critically of Moscow, commentators in Yerevan note.
