Armenian Security Council Secretary unaware of EU observers' espionage against Russia
Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan in an interview with the Public TV has said that the European Union (EU) will increase the number of observers of civilian mission in the country.
"The border between Armenia and Azerbaijan is very long, and the resources that the EU civilian mission has had so far are insufficient to ensure work at the proper level. We believe that the EU mission is carrying out fruitful work, and therefore it should have even more opportunities to continue its work and make it more effective," Grigoryan said, Caliber.Az reports.
When asked whether it was possible that the EU mission would monitor not only the border with Azerbaijan, but also the border with Türkiye and Iran, Grigoryan replied that the mission operates only along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
Commenting on Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova's statement that the EU observers are "conducting intelligence activities against Russia and Iran," the Security Council Secretary called the statement incomprehensible.
"I don't understand why Russia, while voicing its problems with other countries, involves third states. First of all, EU observers are not present on the border between Armenia and Iran, I don't understand why Russia's representatives make such claims. It is clear that they are present only on the border with Azerbaijan. I don't know how EU observers can spy on Russia, let them provide facts and we will discuss it," Grigoryan noted.
