Russia Warns Armenia on its Tilt to West
Russia will seriously “reconsider” its relationship with Armenia if Yerevan continues drifting away from Moscow and aligning with the West, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned.
Over the past year, Armenian has boycotted high-level meetings,
military exercises, and other activities of the CSTO in what Pashinian described last month as an effective suspension of Armenia’s membership in the military alliance comprising six ex-Soviet states.
“It’s the kind of rhetoric that we have seen the Russian Government make that is destabilizing to the region,” Matthew Miller, US State Department Spokesperson referred to Lavrov’s rhetoric.
