Armenia follows multi-vector and complementary policy, said Viktor Krivopuskov, advisor at the Russian Embassy in Armenia and head of the federal agency on CIS affairs and international humanitarian cooperation.

''Russia never gave reason to think that it alienates Armenia,'' he said when commenting on opinion that Russia is jealous about possible normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations.

''All regional wars were waged to push Russia out of the region. If we do nothing, not only Turley but other countries as well will spare no effort to get rid of Russia, the major regional actor.''
