News - With the support of foreign forces, some people attempt to target RA government. Armen Grigoryan

Azerbaijan's attack is not only on Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia is also the target, because for obvious reasons, the events taking place in Nagorno-Karabakh have an impact on Armenia, Secretary of Armenia’s Security Council Armen Grigoryan said in an interview with Public Television. "You saw it during the 44-day war, on November 9, when the government buildings were attacked in Armenia, and today you saw that some forces in the Republic Square, naturally with the support of foreign forces, at least, advancing their narratives, they were trying to target the government in Armenia," he said. When asked why the government did not neutralize those people, if it declares that they are agents of another country, the Armen Grigoryan answered: "It has both subjective and objective reasons. Those people are being used by other countries. You raise the right question: why those people are still outside. Public support for them is adequate and I think the public should continue to ignore them. The government should continue to pay attention and it is taking steps." Referring to opposition's claim that this government has consistently ruined its relations with Russia and now Russia is returning the "debt", Armen Grigoryan said. "First of all, if they perceive the Armenian-Russian relations from that point of view and formulate Russia's interests that way, that is, at the level of individuals, it means that we may not take Russia seriously from that point of view. As for the propaganda that Armenia is to blame, Azerbaijan organized the attack first, and those people blame the RA authorities." The Secretary of the Security Council noted that Russia has been cooperating with Azerbaijan for a long time; it has sold arms worth 5 billion dollars to it since 2011. "The fact that Armenia has not made any changes in its foreign policy since 2018, at least until 2021-2022, is definitely a reason to file an accusation. Russia has clear obligations to protect Nagorno-Karabakh on November 9. There is the signature of the Russian President. In other words, is that signature valid? Is the charge of the Armenian authorities valid?" Armen Grigoryan declared. He noted that in May and November 2021, when there the Prague meeting had not taken place yet and Azerbaijan attacked the sovereign territory of Armenia, Russia did not fulfill its obligations.
