Russian Embassy in Yerevan sent note to Armenian Foreign Ministry regarding blockade of representation building

The building of the Russian diplomatic mission in Yerevan was completely blocked by a crowd of protestors on Tuesday, so Russian diplomats urged the Armenian Foreign Ministry to take measures, the embassy’s press service told TASS.

"We noticed online calls to hold a protest outside the Russian Embassy in Armenia. After they emerged, the mission found itself partially blocked, and was later blocked completely. Normal work remains impossible to date," the embassy said in a statement.

"We remain in touch with relevant bodies of the Republic of Armenia. We sent a note to the Armenian Foreign Ministry," the statement said.

Alexander Guchkov, the press secretary of the Russian Embassy to Armenia, also informed that the situation in Yerevan is tense due to "another escalation" in Nagorno-Karabakh, but there is no aggression towards the Russians by the protesters.
