Russia does not see anything good in the attempts of NATO countries to penetrate the Transcaucasus, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference following the G20 summit, commenting on the upcoming military exercises between Armenia and the United States Eagle Partner 2023.

“Of course, we don’t see anything good in the fact that an aggressive NATO country is trying to penetrate Transcaucasia. I don’t think this is good for anyone, including Armenia itself,” the minister said, answering a question from TASS.

According to the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, “wherever the Americans appear (they have hundreds of bases around the world), nowhere does this lead to anything good.”

“At best, they sit there calmly, but very often they try to tailor everything to themselves, including political processes,” he noted, adding that such actions of the Armenian leadership “cause regret” in Russia.
