ArmInfo.What is happening in Armenia is an internal affair of the country, but Moscow is interested in resolving the situation as soon as possible. This was announced to journalists on Thursday by press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, TASS reports.
"This is entirely and completely an internal affair of Armenia," a Kremlin spokesman said, referring to opposition rallies in Armenia.
He stressed that Yerevan is an ally of Moscow. "Armenia is our ally, it is our partner in several very important integration formats for us, Armenia is our great friend," Peskov said.
"Therefore, of course, we are interested in seeing this period end in Armenia as soon as possible and a period of stability begin again, which will allow us to gradually move towards the implementation of those trilateral agreements on Nagorno-Karabakh, which were finalized with the participation of the President of Russia, as well as in general in terms of the development of our bilateral relations," the Kremlin spokesman said.
Since May 1, a tent city of opposition forces has been set up on France Square, demanding the resignation of Pashinyan and his team. The activists of the movement have been spending the fourth night on the street, and in the morning blocking the streets throughout the city. On May 3 and 4, regional roads were also blocked.
Today, members of the Movement are also blocking the roads of the capital and regions throughout the day. Thus, the fourth day the city is in a transport collapse. It is worth noting that the police use disproportionate force against peaceful protesters.
