Ambassador Antonov: The United States should avoid dangerous words that increase anti-Russian sentiment in Armenia

Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov expressed hope that Washington will refrain from dangerous statements and actions that could contribute to the strengthening of anti-Russian sentiments in Armenia. In his words, quoted in the telegram channel of the Russian diplomatic mission, he emphasized that such actions confirm that the United States and its allies are not seeking to normalize the situation and peaceful development in the Transcaucasus, but in fact are seeking to inflict strategic damage on Russia and deliberately destabilize the Eurasian space with the aim of ousting Russia from the region.

Antonov commented on statements by US administration representatives that Russia is not a reliable partner for Armenia in the field of security. He noted that such insinuations by local officials are outrageous and that the Americans actually support the unconstructive public statements of Armenian politicians who seek to abdicate responsibility for their mistakes in domestic and foreign policy.
