There is no coercion from the West. None of RA has spoiled relations with Russia, as announced by the Secretary of the Security Council, Armen Grigoryan.
He says they are often accused of ruining Armenia-Russia relations because of their government, “If we put it in a bigger picture and try to understand, has Russia also ruined its relations with other countries?” If we look, we will see many examples like Armenia.” According to Grigoryan, if one person is terrible with many, then it is one person’s problem, “It is not the case that Russia’s relations with everyone are smooth.”
He also emphasized: “They are trying to at least accuse us of going to the West, of supporting the West, and then the war in Ukraine is the most strengthening factor for the West. As a result of the war in Ukraine, NATO expanded; at least Finland and Sweden joined, and the EU was united after the war in Ukraine. The US military industry is developing very intensively because of that war. NATO is the strongest. Now we can ask the question: Are we strengthening the West or those people who decided to carry out that war, and as a result of the war, did the West become much stronger? We need to look for Westerners elsewhere, outside of Armenia.”
