Armenia – Aug 25 2022

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Armenia has responded to the note of the Russian embassy in the prescribed manner. Vahan Hunanyan, the MFA spokesperson, told Armenian News-NEWS.am about this—but did not disclose the content of this note.

“The content of the note is part of the internal diplomatic record; therefore, we do not consider its publicizing correct,” said Hunanyan.

On August 17, the Russian embassy in Armenia sent a note to the Armenian MFA due to the false anti-Russian accusations circulating against Russia in the Armenian local information domain.

In the statement of the embassy, it was noted that they are upset by the cynical speculations circulating in the local information domain, and which contain disrespectful and false accusations of the Russian organizations’ complicity in the tragic explosion that occurred in the Surmalu shopping market in Yerevan on August 14.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
