Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has claimed that Armenia’s rapprochement with the European Union could lead the country toward a “new Ukraine” scenario.
He made the remarks in an interview with Iran’s state broadcaster.
“The current Armenian leadership considered it appropriate to change the direction of the country’s development. I am certain that this will lead to nothing good. The worst thing that could happen to Armenia is its transformation into a new Ukraine,” Medvedev said.
He also claimed that certain countries are seeking to weaken relations between Moscow and Yerevan as Armenia shifts its foreign policy course.
The remarks come amid a prolonged deterioration in relations between Russia and Armenia and Yerevan’s gradual rapprochement with the West.
