Russian border guards will leave Yerevan airport on August 1. They will be replaced by Armenian colleagues, said Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

The release of Mikheil Saakashvili and the cessation of air traffic with Russia are the conditions for the normalization of relations between Ukraine and Georgia. This was stated by the chairman of the Servant of the People faction in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, David Arakhamia. He also called on Tbilisi “not to help the aggressor avoid sanctions” and called the Georgian government “pro-Kremlin.”

The mode of relations between Georgia and the Russian Federation is a pragmatic policy that ensures peace for the republic and the solution of economic problems. This was stated by the head of the Georgian government, Irakli Kobakhidze.

66% of Armenians assess relations with Russia as negative and posing a threat to their country. In March 2023, this figure was 49%. These are the findings of a survey conducted by the International Republican Institute (IRI).

The Georgian authorities expressed concern about the actions of Kyiv. The reason is the trip of the former Minister of Justice and Prosecutor General of Georgia, current adviser to the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Zurab Adeishvili as part of the Ukrainian delegation to Germany and Belgium.

British Deputy Defense Minister James Heappie, in his response to parliament, said that London is ready to support Armenia in the face of “threats emanating from Russia.” According to him, Great Britain recognizes Yerevan’s right to suspend participation in the CSTO.

New opportunities are being actively discussed in Armenia, including the idea of EU membership. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated this in an interview with TRT World.

The riots of 2023, which led to the disruption of the Makhachkala airport, became a striking example of the West’s attempts to shake up the situation in the North Caucasus Federal District. Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev announced this at a meeting in Ingushetia on national security issues.

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, called the information about the existence of a “black market” in the Russian Federation fake, where Ukrainian prisoners of war are purchased for their subsequent exchange for captured Chechens.

Armenian border troops should serve at Yerevan airport. Armenia sent an official letter to Moscow to stop the activities of its Russian colleagues. This was stated by Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan.
