Zakharova: Armenia blames Russia for its mistakes

According to RCO News Agency, on Wednesday evening, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova told reporters at a press conference: “Yervan’s reaction to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement regarding the implementation of tripartite agreements indicates Armenia’s attempt to introduce Russia as He is the cause of his own strategic mistakes.”

Earlier, during his visit to Baku, the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Russian Foreign Minister told reporters that “the Prime Minister of Armenia is ruining the tripartite (Sivnik) agreements on Karabakh” and he said that Russia is trying to conclude It is early for a peace treaty and the unblocking of communications from Zangzor, said that “unfortunately, it is the Armenian leadership that thwarted the agreement signed by Prime Minister Pashinyan, regarding communications from the Sivnik region of Armenia.”

Lavrov’s comments were criticized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, and this ministry said in a statement: “Such comments call into question Russia’s constructive participation in the process of resolving relations between Yerevan and Baku.”

According to the report of the Russian News agency “Tass”, the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, referring to Yerevan’s critical statement against Lavrov, said: “In the past, we have seen such reactions from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia against the statements of Sergey Lavrov.” This statement is another example of Yerevan’s efforts to blame others as the perpetrators of its strategic and calculation mistakes.

Zakharova noted: “By sabotaging the tripartite agreements, Yerevan once again acted on the orders of the West and lost the opportunity to create communication routes, transport and try to normalize the conditions in the Caucasus region for the benefit of its economy.”

Finally, he asked the authorities of Yerevan to “not allow the Westerners to derail the efforts made in recent years to create peace and stability in the region.” “This issue is an important issue considering the desire of the United States and the European Union to expel Russia from the South Caucasus region and create tension and divide in the relations of the countries of the region, especially the relations of Armenia with other countries.”
