Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna criticized Russia while in Armenia.

At a joint press conference with his Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan in Yerevan on Friday, the Estonian FM spoke about the parliamentary elections to be held in Armenia in June.

Tsahkna noted that it is very important that these elections be democratic and transparent.

There are many forces around Armenia, including Russia and others, which are not happy with the possibility of free expression, the Estonian FM stated.
