Armenia sent an official letter to Russia regarding the presence of Russian border guards at the capital’s Zvartnots airport.
As Day.Az reported on Wednesday with reference to the Armenian media, Armenian Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan told reporters about this.
“The position of the authorities is that Armenian border troops should serve at the airport. Armenia has all the capabilities for this,” he said.
It should be noted that earlier, the head of the press service of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, noted that Moscow considers statements regarding the withdrawal of Russian border guards from Zvartnots airport as another example of Armenia’s unfriendly behavior.
“We consider this as another example of Yerevan’s unfriendly behavior. We have not received any requests from the Armenian authorities in this regard. We understand that the story with Zvartnots stems from previous insinuations around the Russian Dmitry Setrakov. I can assure you that there are no illegal actions by Russian representatives was not committed: we always respect the national legislation of sovereign states,” she said.
