Mirzoyan: Armenia`s cooperation with  US and EU  not directed against  Russia

ArmInfo.  Armenia's cooperation with the US and EU is not directed against Russia, as  stated by Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan  at a press  conference in Yerevan on May 26. The briefing took place immediately  following a brief official visit by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio  to the Armenian capital.

When asked to comment on a recent statement by Russian Security  Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu, who claimed that "the leadership of  Armenia is seeking protection directly from the source of the  threat," Mirzoyan replied that he did not understand the meaning  behind those words and suggested that journalists direct their  inquiries to the author of the statement.

"Yerevan is interested in constructive, healthy discussions with  Moscow on all matters. Our cooperation with any single nation is not  directed against a third country. Armenia's cooperation with the  United States and the EU is not directed against Russia, just as our  cooperation with Russia is not directed against the United States,  China, or Iran," the Armenian Foreign Minister declared.
