Moscow is discussing with Armenia its involvement in the anti-Russian policies of Western countries in order to warn about the risks, and some of the arguments have been accepted by Yerevan, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik. Some of Moscow's arguments have been accepted by the Armenian side, the spokeswoman said, noting that "certain measures have been taken." Earlier this month, Armenian Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan said that the country was following the path of economic, political and security diversification, acquiring partners not only in the West but also in Asia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said early March that Russia is waiting for Armenia to make a final decision on its membership of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), adding that the Armenian leadership has decided to bet on countries outside the region, "which are courting Yerevan and promising to help Yerevan in all its troubles, as long as Armenia breaks off relations with Russia and the integration structures" that have been established in the region.

Russia Warns Armenia About Risks of Involvement in Anti-Russian Course, Foreign Ministry Says
08:15 16.03.2024 (Updated: 08:16 16.03.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - On Thursday, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan welcomed the European Parliament's resolution calling for strengthening bilateral relations between Brussels and Yerevan, as well as inviting Armenia to consider applying for candidate status in the EU.
Moscow is discussing with Armenia its involvement in the anti-Russian policies of Western countries in order to warn about the risks, and some of the arguments have been accepted by Yerevan, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.
"Unfortunately, we have been seeing this trend [the anti-Russian course] for quite a long time and we are discussing it. We talk, including confidentially, with our Armenian colleagues and partners, with only one goal — to warn," Zakharova said.
Some of
Moscow's arguments have been accepted by the Armenian side, the spokeswoman said, noting that "certain measures have been taken."
"We are well aware that for decades or even centuries, the United States and the collective West have used tactics of treating countries and people as tools. At the same time, hiding behind good intentions. If there have been no such examples in our region, one would probably think that the US and the collective West would not use this tactic to the post-Soviet space," Zakharova said.
Earlier this month, Armenian Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan said that the country was following the path of economic, political and security diversification, acquiring partners not only in the West but
also in Asia.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said early March that Russia is waiting for Armenia to make a final decision on its membership of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), adding that the Armenian leadership has decided to bet on countries outside the region, "which are courting Yerevan and promising to help Yerevan in all its troubles, as long as Armenia breaks off relations with Russia and the integration structures" that have been established in the region.
