The West's attempts to restore law and order in the region have not led to anything good—as they think. The Western fake mediation is based on the vision of the South Caucasus exclusively as another area of geopolitical confrontation. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin stated this during the Second Russia-Armenia Public Forum in Moscow Friday.

"It's no secret that the Americans and Europeans condition their investments on joining the anti-Russian sanctions and at the same time threaten to introduce secondary restrictions—which is absolutely illegitimate.

Through military programs and exercises, they are attempting to strengthen their military presence in Transcaucasia and take control of border control. This line, which is not aimed at reconciling the conflicting parties, but at pushing Moscow out, has already led to new problems and challenges, including for Armenia.

Russia, as a historically present country in the South Caucasus, is vitally interested in the prosperity of Armenia, not in the destruction of its statehood," Galuzin added.
