U.S. reacts to Russia’s criticism of upcoming Armenia-EU-U.S. meeting

PanARMENIAN.Net - Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State Matthew Miller has weighed in on Russia’s criticism of an upcoming Armenia-EU-U.S. meeting.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said recently that the West is trying to create new rifts in the region and forcing the countries in the region to follow anti-Russian line.

“Some of the turbulence we have seen in the region has been fueled by Russia’s actions over the past few months,” Miller said.

“With respect to this meeting in Brussels, as I said yesterday, it is to focus on economic resilience for Armenia as it works to diversify its trade partnerships and address humanitarian needs, and nothing else.”
