YEREVAN. – An incident occurred Tuesday during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia.

A reporter from Rustavi 2 television of Georgia broke through the security personnel, and attempted to approach Putin at the entrance while he was visit the Armenian presidential residence to attend the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).

Even though the reporter was stopped, he managed to shout and ask, in Russian: “When will Russia fulfill its obligations and withdraw from the occupied territories?”

In turn, the Russian president smiled and replied: “We always fulfill.”

Subsequently, Putin entered the building.
