Lavrov pointed to the allied relations between Russia and Armenia

Russia and Armenia have close and allied relations, but they are not easy, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said during a press conference following the BRICS ministerial meeting in India on May 15.

At the same time, he also pointed to the desire of the West to influence the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

"Our relations with Armenia are <...> close and allied, but at the same time difficult, given how the West is trying to subjugate Armenia again <...> following some other CIS members," the minister said.
