Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova accused Armenia of a “provocation” following a statement by the country’s Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan expressing readiness to accept Russians who want to avoid being sent to the front in the event of a new mobilization. The Moscow Times reports, according to UNN.<\/p>\n

According to Zakharova, such statements allegedly “encourage Russian citizens to engage in unlawful actions” and give “traditional Armenian hospitality a toxic political tinge.” She also accused Yerevan of seeking to “curry favor with the West and the Kyiv regime.”<\/p>\n

It is regrettable that the trend of official Yerevan representatives disseminating public statements that undermine bilateral cooperation with Moscow continues. We consider Simonyan’s statements provocative<\/p>\n

On August 25, Simonyan said that Armenia would not prevent Russian citizens from entering in the event of a new wave of mobilization. According to him, Russians would not be asked about the reasons for their arrival at the border, and, if necessary, the authorities would be ready to provide them with assistance.<\/p>\n

His statement came amid reports of possible preparations for a new mobilization in Russia after the September elections to the State Duma. The Moscow Times notes that Western intelligence services consider such a scenario possible, while The Wall Street Journal previously reported that the Russian military was checking the regions’ readiness for conscription. The Kremlin denies information about preparations for a new mobilization.<\/p>\n
