The West’s reaction to protests in Armenia and Georgia is striking in its stability, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a press briefing on Wednesday.

She noted that the West constantly targets and intimidates the Georgian authorities for the brute force allegedly used against protesters, but when it comes to Armenia, the West is silent.

“Here come the double standards. When it comes to mass protests in Armenia, the West pretends that nothing is happening. And even if they comment on it, they say that protests do not reflect Armenia’s will and are coordinated from the outside,” she said.
