When leaving, leave! - Zakharova to Sejourne

ArmInfo.The West has no other agenda in the South Caucasus than destructive. This was stated at a briefing on September 20 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in response to a request to comment on the words of the outgoing Minister of Foreign Affairs and Europe of France, Stefan Sejourne, during his visit to Yerevan that Moscow was trying to put pressure on the Republic of Armenia.
"The Russian Foreign Ministry thinks that when leaving, leave! And especially since everything was so inept, then you need to leave quietly - this is, firstly. And secondly, it is surprising that our allies, our brothers, partners, neighbors, our friends - I mean the political leadership and officials, representatives, including the public in Armenia, do not react to this. This was said in the vastness of Armenia," Zakharova noted.
At the same time, the Russian diplomat assured that if such a thing had been said on Russian territory in relation to friends of the Russian Federation, partners and allies who often defended them at the cost of their lives, Moscow would have found a way to pull them up short.
"And remind them that our history does not allow such a derogatory attitude towards it from third parties. Therefore, what is there to comment on. An absolutely talentless figure - from the point of view of diplomacy, once again demonstrating his talentlessness, ignorance of history and traditions," the diplomat noted.
Zakharova considered "what was said about Russia to be stupid and talentless, and disrespectful towards Armenia, which he visited."
"But, on the other hand, the West has no other agenda in this region than destructive. All they need is to pit the countries of this region against each other. They do not help in development, they do not help in solving problems. They are not ready to lie down on the embrasures in order to separate the conflicting parties, you understand? They can only pit, humiliate, insult and destroy," the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry added, noting that this is another manifestation of this.
At the same time, according to her, after the failure at the Olympics, it is generally inappropriate to say such things, but it is better to work on your own mistakes. It should be noted that the head of the French Foreign Ministry during his visit to Yerevan noted that Armenia continues its democratic path, despite pressure from Russia. Today, visiting Yerevan, I also want to express France's support for Armenia and the Armenian people, despite the obvious threats and hostility that Russia is showing, wanting to suppress the Republic of Armenia. Despite this, Armenia continues its path towards democracy and freedom. Moving forward step by step, implementing each stage," said the French diplomat.
