ermany is reportedly interested in the fast withdrawal of Russian border personnel from Armenia, and in return, it offers Yerevan financial assistance, TASS reported on Wednesday, citing a source familiar with the matter.
According to the source, "Germany seeks to drag Armenia into the West's anti-Russian policy. Berlin's task is to dissociate Yerevan from Moscow as much as possible."
Reportedly, Germany wants Armenia to "clean up" their state administration of individuals friendly to Russia, including special services and law enforcement agencies. Berlin, on the other hand, offers to provide the country with financial and technical assistance, as well as support for the efforts of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's government to keep Karabakh Armenians from mass emigration to European Union countries.
