Press Secretary of the Foreign Ministry of Belarus A.Glaz answers media questions about the summoning of the representative of the Embassy of Armenia to the Foreign Ministry

We all witness the difficult internal political situation in Armenia today and the rapidly escalating confrontation within the country. And different people, of course, have different levels of resistance to serious emotional pressure. We do understand that.

But we don't understand - what Belarus has to do with it? A representative of the Armenian Embassy has been summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today to try to clarify this issue for us. Taking into account the development of the situation, our Ambassador from Yerevan will also arrive shortly to Minsk.

If someone decided to divert attention from the internal problems with the external enemy image, it is a very short-sighted position.

It is important to understand that we have longstanding close, friendly relations and common history with Armenia, as well as mutually beneficial trade and close business contacts. We are not going to worsen these relations, no matter how much the Armenian leadership is pushed to do so by external actors.

We have never done anything to harm our friends, we do not interfere in internal affairs, we respect the Armenian people and sincerely wish them leaders who will genuinely think about the future of the country and the well-being of the people.
