Political scientist Marat Bashirov believes that the Armenian-Russian relations will deteriorate so much that it is not worth flying to Yerevan yet.
“Do not fly to Armenia yet, unless absolutely necessary. There will be an aggravation,” the expert wrote in the telegram channel.
The Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergei Shoigu, at a meeting of the special working group of the Security Council on May 20, said that Armenia had taken a number of actions of an unequivocally unfriendly nature.
“Armenia has taken “a number of actions of an unambiguously unfriendly nature”: “This is how we regard joining the International Criminal Court, the extradition of Russian citizens to third countries, and the deliberate deterioration of conditions for the functioning of Russian economic operators, which, by the way, provide jobs to tens of thousands of Armenian citizens. And, finally, providing the Kiev regime with the rostrum of the summit of the European Political Community in Yerevan for threats against the Russian Federation,” Shoigu said.
Moscow understands the desire of the Armenian leadership to benefit from cooperation with Russia, “but cooperation and strategic partnership is a two—way street,” he said.
Today it became known that the Rosselkhoznadzor has been introducing temporary restrictions on the “import of floral products originating and departing from Armenia” since May 22. The restriction is valid until the completion of the inspection of greenhouses and the analysis of its results.
“Armenia will not be able to appease us with its flowers,” political analyst Mikhail Vinogradov sneers in a telegram channel.
