Armenia does not waver, Armenia is diversifying its security and foreign policy. We do it completely openly. Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan said this during a briefing with journalists, referring to the statements of Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Galuzin on the subject of the Armenian authorities' withdrawal from the CSTO.
"Armenia's diversification includes not only the West, but also India and a number of other countries. And Armenia, seeing that by 2020-2021, the security system of which Armenia is a part, which is not working at all, is not functional, is looking for security guarantees for itself, and we will continue working in this direction. I don't see any problem here.
We are firm in the direction of our policy and we will realize all our goals in this direction," he said.
As for the assessment of the Russian Ambassador to Azerbaijan that the forced displacement of Nagorno-Karabakh residents as a result of the September 19 operations is an "anti-terrorist operation", Armen Grigoryan said. "I cannot comment on his words, but if the representative of the country of peacekeepers, peacekeepers who were supposed to protect the Armenians of Artsakh to stay in Artsakh, makes such statements, it should be left to the public's assessment. I think the Armenian public assesses such statements the best."
