U.S. State Dept spox accuses Russia of rhetoric that destabilizes  South Caucasus

ArmInfo.U.S. State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller accused Russia of using rhetoric that  destabilizes the South Caucasus.

Thus, during the briefing, when asked to comment on the statement of  Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov who "accused Armenia of going  towards the West, and then he promised that they will respond to  Armenia," Miller noted that he is not going to respond directly to  that question.

" Although it's the kind of - it's the kind of rhetoric that we have  seen the Russian Government make that is destabilizing to the region,  and it's why you've seen so many of Russia's neighbors be concerned  about threatening rhetoric and threatening actions that the Russian  Government has shown over and over it is willing to take against its  neighbors. And I'll leave it at that," Miller said.

Earlier the Russian minister did not rule out revising the level of  Armenian-Russian relations if Yerevan continues its obvious  anti-Russian political course.
