Russia’s warning against the West’s attempt to exert influence on the South Caucasus

According to RCO News Agency, “Alexander Bortnikov”, the director of the Russian Federal Security Service, said today (Friday) following his visit to the city of Astana, that the West is not interested in stability in the South Caucasus and demands the deployment of its so-called “peacekeeper” forces in the region under the organization’s supervision. It is nations.

According to “Sputnik” News agency, Bortnikov said in a speech at the meeting of the heads of the council of national security agencies and special services of the members of the Organization of Beneficial Independent States in Astana: “It is clear that the Americans and Europeans are not interested in establishing stability in the South Caucasus. By exerting pressure to exclude Yerevan from negotiations with Baku, the West is trying to lead the process of resolving the conflicts between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia and achieve its goal of deploying peacekeeping forces in this region, officially under the supervision of the United Nations but practically under the supervision of NATO. Slow down.”

He added: “If you look at the delegation of the European Union stationed in Armenia near the border of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan, which is actually conducting intelligence activities against Russia, you will understand how this kind of peacekeeping can be.”

Bortnikov noted: The West is pushing Armenia under pressure to leave the Common Security Treaty Organization to make it a more NATO-dependent country while developing its relations with the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The head of Russia’s FSB security service has criticized the US’s efforts to expand its influence over the members of the Organization of the Commonwealth of Independent States through exchange and aid programs, while at the same time introducing economic reforms aimed at ultimately benefiting the United States from them. He expressed concern.

Bortnikov pointed out: Washington is trying in this way to finally install political leaders controlled by the West in the members of the Organization of Independent States of Cooperation.

The Council of Heads of National Security Enforcement Organizations and Special Services of Independent Beneficial countries was established in 1997. This council was created with the aim of coordinating the actions of the security enforcement agencies and special services of the member countries with the aim of fighting cross-border organized crimes and it holds meetings at least twice a year, the previous meeting of which was last May in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
