Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in an interview with RBC, commented on the arrest of former Armenian President Robert Kocharyan for two months.

“There is another president under investigation, Sargsyan, who, under Kocharyan, was defence minister and then became president. The position of our Foreign Ministry is that we proceed from the interests of the Armenian people. We see how the interests of the Armenian people have been intertwined with the interests of our people for centuries. And always, for very, very long periods of time, we were together, in solidarity with each other. Russia has repeatedly helped the Armenian people and the Armenian leadership in difficult situations. These interests, of course, should prevail.

But now the current representatives of the leadership in Yerevan are guided by other objectives. The goal of orientation toward the European Union has been declared, and a law has been adopted to begin the process of joining the European Union,” he said.
