Russia negatively assesses Armenia's cooperation with the West
Armenia's foreign policy is worrying, and cooperation with the West in the security sphere "does not lead to anything good." This was stated by the Russian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Mikhail Evdokimov.
According to him, the EU observation mission in Armenia is collecting intelligence against Azerbaijan, Iran and the Russian Federation.
"With Canada joining it, the mission has effectively turned into a NATO operation with dubious goals. The fact that it is an instrument of the West's hybrid war confirms its secrecy and lack of control by either Armenia or Azerbaijan," the ambassador added.
Earlier, Deputy Head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Mikhail Galuzin complained that Western countries are collecting intelligence in Armenia regarding Russian facilities, as well as all neighboring states. Galuzin noted that the Russian Federation regrets Armenia's participation in the NATO summit in Washington. According to him, with such actions Yerevan, which still remains a member of the CSTO, risks seriously destabilizing the situation in the South Caucasus to the detriment of, among other things, its own security.
