Posters began to appear on the streets of Yerevan accusing the French Ambassador to Armenia Olivier Decottigny of corruption and calling on Paris to “leave the country.” According to the French publication Intelligence Online, this is being done by the Russian FSB, which is “trying to undermine Yerevan’s ties with the West.”
The deepening of relations between Armenia and the West is not directed against the Russian Federation, Armenian Foreign Minister Mirzoyan said earlier. He noted that the goal is “exclusively to increase the level of security in Armenia.”
It is noteworthy that France is ahead of the Russian Federation in the volume of supplies of weapons and military equipment to Armenia. In addition, Yerevan began to openly focus on Europe and the West. In particular, Armenia ignores events within the CSTO and strives to become a candidate for membership in the European Union.
