Due to urgent work matters, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS) of Armenia,  Kristinne Grigoryan, did not participate in the  meeting of the heads of security and intelligence agencies from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries held in Moscow Tuesday, the FIS informed in response to a query by the RFE/RL Armenian service.

The FIS added, however, that a representative of the aforesaid service attended this meeting, but did not say this person’s name.

Although Yerevan is boycotting the meetings of Moscow-led organizations amid Armenia's aggravation of relations with the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), it has stated that it values cooperation with the CIS and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
