Russia MFA: Baltic countries are taking destructive line, trying to ‘cut off’ Armenia from Moscow

The Baltic countries are trying with all their might to "cut off" Armenia from Russia and integration processes in the post-Soviet area, and are implementing an extremely destructive line in the South Caucasus. Andrey Nastasin, Deputy Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), stated this at a press briefing Wednesday.

"As for the South Caucasus, Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius lead an extremely destructive line there," Nastasin noted. "Now they are trying with all their might to ‘cut off’ Armenia from Russia, remove it from our shared integration mechanisms, including the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), capture [it] with a Euro-Atlantic perspective."
