He said this in an interview with TASS.

“If we talk about the moments that worry us, then those are mainly due to the importunate attempts of the West to drive a wedge into the Russian-Armenian friendship,” Gonchar said.

The diplomat added that Russia records the intensification of the activities of emissaries from the United States and the European Union on the territory of Armenia, as well as pro-Western organizations that aim to turn the Armenian authorities and population against Russia.

On November 23, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced at the CSTO summit that he had briefly discussed with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan the issues of resolving the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh.
