BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 31. Armenia’s Foreign
Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said that it is “impossible to hide” the
growing problems in Yerevan’s relations with Russia, Trend reports.

“The problems that exist in the relationship with Russia are
impossible to hide,” said Mirzoyan during a press briefing with
journalists in Buenos Aires.

At the same time, the FM pointed out that “Armenia is ready to
move closer to the EU as long as the EU is ready to welcome
Armenia”.

Mirzoyan also took the opportunity to once again accuse
Azerbaijan of “ethnic cleansing” and expressed the opinion that
Baku allegedly has no intention of making peace with Yerevan.

Meanwhile, a trilateral meeting is scheduled to be held between
Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan, US Secretary of State Blinken,
and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on April 5.
The sides are expected to sign a document on security guarantees
for Armenia.

The upcoming meeting in Brussels is causing concern in Russia,
top Moscow officials say.

“Washington, Brussels, and Yerevan pretend to be perplexed why
the upcoming high-level meeting between Armenia, the EU, and the US
on April 5 causes ‘concern’ for many. They claim it is not directed
against any third party. Such events cause concern in Russia
because US and EU representatives openly tell our partners that
their main focus is exclusively against Russia. They say it
outright,” said Maria Zakharova, Spokesperson for Russia’s MFA.
