On November 11, at the request of the Armenian authorities, 50 thousand Russian school textbooks were delivered to the country free of charge. But soon their distribution was suspended due to an “examination” of educational materials. This was stated by Vice Speaker of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Yuri Vorobyov in his TG channel.
“I was very surprised to learn about the suspension of the textbook distribution process. Particularly strange is the fact that our Armenian colleagues themselves sent us a specific list of necessary textbooks,” he wrote. Vorobiev called this move by official Yerevan “short-sighted political intrigue.”
Since September, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has repeatedly criticized Moscow and its structures, in particular the CSTO and the peacekeeping contingent in Karabakh. He also repeatedly hinted at a possible exit from the CSTO and rapprochement with European countries and the United States.
