Previously, some officials in Armenia disregarded the political significance of the situation. However, during a briefing in Yerevan, Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, highlighted that several officials in Armenia continue to hold this viewpoint. The protests in Yerevan were in response to the increase in prices for Russian gas and the lack of support for Armenian villages. These meetings aimed to discuss affordable solutions and mechanisms to address any potential issues. Zakharova stressed the need for self-reflection, suggesting that those representatives who accuse others should examine their own actions, including their representation of political affairs and the spread of misinformation through Armenian media channels.
