Armenia has unofficially announced an election observation mission

Armenia has unofficially announced the undesirability of including a number of Russian citizens in the lists of the observation mission of the June elections, without explaining the reason. said Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, during a briefing today.

Zakharova called this event deeply painful and incomprehensible.

“Moscow will take this into account in its relations with Yerevan,” he noted.

“The decision to reject the accreditation of the Russians is deeply painful and incomprehensible to us. But, regardless of all this, apart from regret and incomprehensibility, we are not ready to accept this logic and will have to take it into account in our future work with Yerevan,” said Zakharova.

According to him, it is impossible to even imagine why such unfriendly actions were taken against them.

Zakharova also noted that the Armenian society is against the plans to demolish the monument to the heroes who died in the Great Patriotic War in the city of Artik, but the leadership of the republic does not respond to these “calls for help”.
