Small group protesting against Russian FM`s visit to Armenia 

ArmInfo.  On May 21, a small group of citizens organized a picket in front of the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia, where a  meeting of the heads of the foreign policy departments of Armenia and  Russia, Ararat Mirzoyan and Sergey Lavrov, was taking place.

Former member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia,  leader of the party "In the Name of the Republic" Arman Babajanyan,  known for his pro-Western position, stated that the action was  organized in response to Russia's policy. In particular, he accused  Moscow of allegedly surrendering Artsakh and provoking Azerbaijan's  aggression, which led to the forced displacement of the Armenian  population of Nagorno-Karabakh. The former deputy believes that  Russia's actions are part of a hybrid war against Armenia.

At the same time, the organizer of the action refused to admit that  the current government in Armenia is primarily responsible for the  situation in Artsakh. "With this action we want to show our attitude  towards the policy pursued by the current Russian authorities in the  region and in particular towards Armenia," Babajanyan summed up.

The day before, the so-called "Euroblok", against the backdrop of  Lavrov's visit to Yerevan, hung posters in different parts of the  Armenian capital with insults towards Russian President Vladimir  Putin. In turn, the leader of the Russophobic party "In the Name of  the Republic" Arman Babajanyan published a photo report on his  Facebook page about the provocative action held in front of the  Russian Embassy in Yerevan.  It should be noted that the day before,  during a weekly briefing, the official representative of the Russian  Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova saw an American trace in the  Russophobic action organized in the center of Yerevan.
