News - Armen Grigoryan to Sergey Lavrov: Russia should clarify its position, not Armenia

Russia should clarify its position as a CSTO member, rather than for Armenia to clarify. Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia, Armen Grigoryan, told this to reporters at the National Assembly Wednesday—and reflecting on Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov statement in which he, in fact, calls on Armenia to determine what is going in which direction. "You know that during our last period with the CSTO, at least since May 2021, our discussion with the CSTO was that we claimed that Armenia has a border with Azerbaijan, the CSTO claimed that it does not, and did not recognize that border, nor did it condemn the [Azerbaijani] occupation of the territory of Armenia. I would say that here there is a greater need for Russia, as a member of the CSTO, to clarify its positions towards Armenia, rather than for Armenia to clarify," said the secretary of the Security Council of Armenia.
