If we are talking about some negative nuances regarding the relations with Yerevan, then these are first and foremost about Western countries’ attempts at damaging the Russian-Armenian partnership, director of the fourth department of the CIS countries of the Russian Foreign Ministry Denis Gonchar said in an interview with TASS, Ednews reports.
He accused West of using dirty methods: “Any, including completely dirty, methods are used: sanction blackmail, unfair competition, amorphous promises which, as Armenian proverb says, “there is more smoke than kebab”. Everyone, including the post-Soviet area, has been able to see what the “friendship” of West turns into.”
Gonchar added that Russia is determined to solve all the problematic issues with Armenia within the framework of partnership, direct and sincere dialogue.
