"Brussels' decision to deploy an EU mission in Armenia has a clear geopolitical background," Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation

The Russian Foreign Ministry reported that on February 21, at the initiative of the EU, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin had a telephone conversation with Toivo Klaar, the EU's special representative in the South Caucasus. 

Discussing the issue of the settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, Galuzin noted that Brussels' decision to deploy an EU civilian mission in Armenia has a transparent geopolitical background, which does not contribute to stability in the South Caucasus. The need for more consensus between Baku and Yerevan on this initiative was emphasized.
