YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 21, ARMENPRESS. According to the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Galuzin, the decision of Brussels to launch an EU civilian mission in Armenia has a clear geopolitical context, which does not contribute to real stabilization in Transcaucasia, ARMENPRESS reports the Russian Foreign Ministry said, noting that the Russian diplomat announced this during a telephone conversation with Toivo Klaar, the EU’s special representative in the South Caucasus.

On the initiative of the EU side, on February 21, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Galuzin, and the Co-Chair of the International Geneva Discussions on Security and Stability in the Transcaucasia, the EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus Toivo Klaar, held a telephone conversation.

While discussing the topic of normalization of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, Mikhail Galuzin noted that Brussels’ decision to launch an EU civilian mission in Armenia has a clear geopolitical context, which does not contribute to real stabilization in Transcaucasia. The lack of consensus between Baku and Yerevan on this initiative was emphasized.

Emil Lazarian: “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
