Lavrov: Russia not troubled by Armenia-NATO relations development
Russia is not troubled by development of the Armenia-NATO relations, RF Foreign Minister said.

"It's not dangerous that NATO and its partners combat challenges. Russia maintains the existing format of relations with all member states of the Alliance. If NATO develops the way it says, we do not see any menace," Sergei Lavrov told a news conference today.

He also said that Russia welcomes development of trade and economic relations between Armenia and Georgia and hopes that the agreements achieved by governments of both states will help to avoid crisis.
