Germany is interested in the speedy withdrawal of Russian border guards from Armenia; in exchange for this and some other anti-Russian steps, Berlin offers Yerevan financial assistance, Ednews reports citing TASS.
“Germany is trying to drag Armenia into the anti-Russian policy of the West. Berlin’s task is to create a rift between Yerevan and Moscow as much as possible. The Germans are interested in the speedy withdrawal of Russian border guards from Armenian territory and the country's authorities purging their state apparatus of persons friendly towards Russia, including lustration of the armed forces, intelligence services, and law enforcement agencies. In return, Berlin offers to provide Yerevan with financial and technical assistance, as well as support for the efforts of Nikol Pashinyan’s government to keep Garabagh Armenians (who left the Azerbaijani region of Garabagh - ed.) from mass emigration to the countries of the European Union,” the agency’s interlocutor noted.
