ArmInfo.It seems to me that such a statement of the question as to who the great powers are betting in the current situation is humiliating for Yerevan, Armenia and for its people.
This is how Maria Zakharova, Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, reacted at a briefing on April 26 in Moscow on the question of whether the great powers can count on the current government in Armenia, not the opposition, but in the light of the current situation. "This people has an ancient history, with its culture and statehood, which has existed for many years, and it seems to me, and we unambiguously talked about this, that the people of Armenia must overcome this political social crisis," she said, and in this context added , that such cases occur regularly in different countries.
According to her, the question here is how much the people and people to whom the people delegate their power, show wisdom, or do not show it in order to solve this situation peacefully, especially without bloodshed, or turn it into some kind of protracted terrible process with unknown result. "We proceed from the fact that this is really an internal matter of Armenia in all laws, and according to international law and the laws of life and logic, it is within Armenia that a consensus and public consensus should be worked out on how and who will guide this country, what course will be chosen, etc. We once again said that the basis for this should be the law of this state, "the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
At the same time, she added that the Russian side's contacts with the Armenian side are proceeding, which is quite normal and is an international practice. According to her, in Moscow they do not see anything reprehensible in this. "They are held both at the embassy and ministerial level, but once again I stress that this is the business of Armenia and the Armenian people, those who created this country, to find the strength to find a wise political settlement of this situation on the basis of the law and in the Constitutional legal framework, "Zakharova stressed. Answering the question whether, in the light of the situation in Armenia, the problem of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement can be out of control, the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow believes that this should not happen. "We, as a matter of fact, have repeatedly voiced our position: it is a question of peaceful political negotiations and agreements, and complications should not happen in any way." Exit should be exclusively in a peaceful negotiating channel, "she said.
