Armenia is being turned into tool to implement extremely dangerous plans of West, says Russia MFA spox

Armenia is being turned into a tool to implement extremely dangerous plans of the West, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Telegram.

“Washington, Brussels and Yerevan are naively perplexed why the upcoming Armenia-EU-US high-level meeting on April 5 is ‘concerning’ for many. They claim that it is not directed against any third party.  Such events cause concern in Russia because the US and EU representatives directly tell our partners that their main goal is to oppose Russia. They say so directly and openly,” Zakharova noted.

According to her, such meetings “cause concern for most countries in the region because they are aimed not at achieving peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia but at further incorporation of the West with its extremely destructive approaches to the South Caucasus, creating new dividing lines, forcing the countries of the region to follow an anti-Russian agenda, destroying their centuries-old ties with Moscow, and destabilizing the existing mechanisms of regional security and economic cooperation.”

“Why official Yerevan pretends not to understand what we are talking about is a big question. After all, in front of the whole world, Armenia is being turned into a tool to implement extremely dangerous plans of the collective West, which completely oppose the fundamental interests of the Armenian people,” she concluded.
