Россия выражает недовольство недавними событиями в Армении

Министр иностранных дел России Сергей Лавров впервые публично раскритиковал новые власти Армении. В комментарии, опубликованном информационным агентством ИТАР-ТАСС, Лавров сослался на недавние обвинения в адрес различных высокопоставленных должностных лиц Армении, в том числе бывшего президента Роберта Кочаряна, за их участие в насильственном подавлении уличных протестов в 2008 году. Впоследствии Кочарян был переведен в предварительное заключение, арестован. Бывший глава Вооруженных сил, генерал Юрий Хачатурян тоже был обвинен, но освобожден под залог. Хачатурян является нынешним генеральным секретарем Организации Договора о коллективной безопасности (ОДКБ), членом которого является Армения.

В своем комментарии министр иностранных дел России Лавров сказал, что события в Армении противоречат прежним заявлениям нового руководства страны об их нежелании преследовать политических предшественников. Он заявил, что "Россия как союзник Еревана всегда была заинтересована в стабильности армянского государства". Поэтому происходящее там не может нас не беспокоить, в том числе и с точки зрения задач нормальной работы тех организаций на пространстве СНГ, в которых участвует Армения, - добавил Лавров.

По словам Лаврова, за последние дни мы несколько раз доводили наши озабоченности до армянского руководства. Рассчитываем, что ситуация все-таки пойдет по конструктивному пути.

Министр иностранных дел выразил надежду, что ситуация "тем не менее, будет идти по конструктивному пути".

Лавров добавил, что в период политического кризиса в Армении в мае этого года "Москва с большим удовлетворением отметила, что решение кризиса было найдено на основе компромисса с участием всех ведущих партий". По его словам, в России они надеялись, что новое руководство Армении продолжит "укреплять национальное согласие".

Но события последних дней явно нарушают такой позитивный настрой, идут вразрез с недавними заявлениями нового руководства Армении о том, что у него нет намерений организовывать преследования своих предшественников по политическим мотивам.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
