He said this at a press conference following the Antalya Diplomatic Forum.

“I cannot confirm these reports, although this fits perfectly into the logic of the positions that the Armenian leadership is now setting out: Prime Minister Pashinyan, the speaker of the Armenian parliament, and other figures,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

As the Ministry of Foreign Affairs previously noted, Yerevan did not appeal to Moscow with a request to withdraw Russian border guards from Zvartnots airport.

On February 27, Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Alen Simonyan expressed the opinion that Russia should withdraw its border guards from Zvartnots International Airport.

According to him, Armenian forces are capable of defending their borders themselves.
