“Apparently, the Armenian authorities forgot that the country’s welfare was largely based on the bonuses it received from Russia’s cooperation and membership in the Eurasian Economic Union - these are real numbers and facts, unlike many empty statements and promises made by the West,” she said. “Our partners are turning to us with a request to preserve all this, while in the meantime they themselves are taking steps, particularly in the security sphere, that damage bilateral relations and ignore Russia’s interests.
