We said that a Russian citizen, Russian businessman, like any other Russian citizen and Russian businessman, always receives help and support if he applies to our embassy, to the Russian side. This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova at the weekly briefing on June 19, commenting on the arrest of Samvel Karapetyan in Armenia. 

"To speculate further on this topic, it is necessary to understand what exactly is going on there in the form of clear statements and accusations. So many statements have been made, so specific, that let's first understand what exactly we are talking about. Once again: as a Russian citizen and a Russian businessman, naturally, he will be provided with the necessary assistance," she emphasized.
