Russia called the words of the representative of Armenia "anti-Russian attacks"

The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Zakharova commented on the statement of the Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan that in the event of unblocking transport communications in the region, Armenia, and not the Russian Federation, will exercise control over the borders. She expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the interview contained "unfriendly remarks about Moscow." “There were such attacks against Russia. Firstly, I would like the above-mentioned high-ranking representative of Armenia to decide: either a normal dialogue, which should be and of which we have experience, or such statements. We choose the first," Zakharova said.

Armenia refused to control transport communications by the border service of the FSB of the Russian Federation. Secretary of the Security Council Grigoryan said that if economic and transport ties with Azerbaijan are unblocked, Yerevan will exercise full control over the borders.
Recall that, according to the tripartite statement of the heads of Azerbaijan, Armenia and the Russian Federation dated November 10, 2020, the border service of the FSB of Russia is monitoring transport links.
