Armenia issues protest note to Belarus amid diplomatic tensions

Armenia has formally protested against Belarus following recent diplomatic tensions.

According to Armenian media via Caliber.Az, spokesperson Ani Badalyan of the Armenian Foreign Ministry confirmed the issuance of a protest note. This action was prompted by comments made by a Belarusian Foreign Ministry spokesperson on June 13.

Previously, the Armenian Ambassador to Belarus, Razmik Khumaryan, had been summoned back to Yerevan for consultations. In response, Belarus also recalled its ambassador from Armenia.

Also on June 14, Araik Harutyunyan, Chief of Staff of the Armenian Prime Minister, issued a decree prohibiting officials from travelling to Belarus.
