Russia warns Armenia against “falling into West’s trap”March 28, 2024 - 13:37 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia risks “falling into the trap of succumbing to the illusion” that rapprochement with the European Union brings prosperity, since “such empty promises of the collective West, as a rule, turn into bondage, official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova told a briefing on Thursday, March 27. “Anything that will benefit the people of Armenia can only be welcomed,” she noted, according to TASS. “The main thing is that it doesn’t turn out that, as always, a bloodthirsty wolf or a saber-toothed tiger does not hide under the sheep’s clothing of EU chants. That’s the problem. That’s how they infiltrate internal life, into the economic projects of states that are just picking up the pace of development, being in democratic transit, being developing states, and this is a great danger." No one is going to dissuade Armenia from what brings well-being and prosperity, the official representative maintained. “After all, now the West is scary not because it gives out empty promises and thus deceives expectations, but because it engages in fraud, and under the guise of promises of prosperity it actually begins to drink blood, and then literally destroys what was actually prosperous and fruitful before that.” Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
