Some Russian analysts aim to embroil Russia with Armenia
Head of the Center of Caucasus Studies at Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) Vladimir Zakharov said that a large
number of Russian analysts aim to embroil Russia with Armenia.

"These, let us say commentators, work to create a negative image of Armenia in Russia. Everybody knows that these are pro-Azerbaijani
journalists trying to discredit Armenia, since it agreed to participate in NATO exercise in Georgia," he told PanARMENIAN.Net.

"Russian leadership has constant and positive attitude to Armenia. I declare it with all responsibility. And President Ilham Aliyev's visit
changed nothing. The point is that Azerbaijan can turn its back to Russia, what is not desirable at the moment," he said.
