Russian-Armenian relations will withstand all tests of strength from the West. US statements that Armenia wants to turn away from Russia are unfounded. This was stated by the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Zakharova.
She also noted that such statements are another example of geopolitical engineering by the Americans to create the reality they need.
"Throughout history, we have repeatedly lent a shoulder to the brotherly Armenian people, and we intend to do so in the future," Zakharova said.
Earlier, US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O'Brien said that a significant part of the Armenian population, after the loss of Karabakh, is disappointed with Russia's actions and wants to distance itself from it. The US wants to take advantage of these sentiments and "are creating conditions to make this a reality."
