ArmInfo. Washington in no way interferes in the affairs of Armenia, and, in general, it is rather passive in its attitude to politics in the South Caucasus region. Political analyst Suren Sargsyan stated this at a press conference, referring to the rumors circulating that Washington recently began to interfere in Armenian politics.
According to him, Armenia is the least interested in the United States in the region. "The United States does not conduct an active policy in Armenia at all, which would interfere with relations between the RA and the Russian Federation," Sargsyan said.
To note, the statements regarding Washington's intervention in the affairs of Armenia appeared after the visit to the RA of Trump's adviser on national security issues, John Bolton. During the visit, Bolton made several statements regarding the "need for Armenia to revise historical stereotypes," "revitalizing the Karabakh process after the elections," etc.
The other day, Russian Foreign Minister Georgy Karasin stated that Washington's intervention in Armenia's internal and foreign affairs is becoming more and more unceremonious. He noted that the adviser to the US president on national security issues, John Bolton, commenting on the conflict around Nagorno-Karabakh, noted that the American "weapon is in any case better than the Russian one." Karasin said that Bolton ordered Armenia to buy American weapons and join anti-Iran sanctions as soon as possible. "Moscow hopes that the new leadership of Armenia will find the strength to resist the blackmailing of the United States and will make its own decisions," Karasin concluded.
