Armenia is assigned only the role of an instrument with which the West wants to start a fire in the South Caucasus.
As Day.Az reported on Thursday, this was stated today during a weekly briefing by the head of the press service of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
“It is obvious that Washington and Brussels have set a goal to destroy all ties between Russia and Armenia, both in the security and economic spheres, as well as to undermine the mechanisms of the CSTO and the EAEU. Western countries are trying to create a quarrel between their closest neighbors in the South Caucasus, while Armenia is given the role is just a tool with which the US and EU plan to start a new big fire.
We will not be surprised if it turns out that the document provides for the replacement of Russian border guards with US, EU and NATO specialists, the expansion of subversive activities of the Americans and the EU on the Armenian border against Azerbaijan and Iran, as well as the reorientation of critical infrastructure and the energy system of Armenia. Indeed, representatives of the United States and the European Union actively instilled these ideas in Yerevan,” Zakharova emphasized, commenting on the document adopted during the Brussels meeting between the EU, the United States and Armenia.
Let us recall that the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, the High Representative and Vice-President of the EU Josep Borrell, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the head of USAID Samantha Power and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan met on April 5 in Brussels.
Among other things, following the meeting, it was stated that the EU will put forward a Sustainability and Growth Plan for Armenia for the period 2024-2027 worth 270 million euros.
