Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan has responded promptly to Russian FM Sergey Lavrov’s recent comments regarding Armenia, APA reports, citing Armenian media.
During a joint press conference in Yerevan with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, Mirzoyan described Lavrov’s remarks as “incomplete and incorrect.”
“The matter Mr. Lavrov referred to likely concerns the involvement of certain clergy members in Armenia’s political processes, which—according to law enforcement—relates to an attempted coup. This is a legal process and an internal affair of Armenia. It would be better if Mr. Lavrov refrains from interfering in Armenia’s internal matters and domestic politics,” Mirzoyan said.
Notably, Lavrov had stated earlier that attacks targeting the Armenian Church were a cause for concern.
