“Opinions about Moscow pressuring Armenia to join the state of the union and giving corridor from its territory to Azerbaijan are fake,” said Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova at today's briefing, APA reports.

She asked for Armenian state officials who voiced these claims to give convincible evidence.

“If they make such statements about a specific country, they should give facts too. Then we can add some things to what Russian President Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said regarding this”.

Note that Armen Grigoryan stated in an interview with the Armenian Public Television that Moscow pressures Yerevan by various means for Armenia to join the Russian-Belarus union state and to provide a corridor through its territory to Azerbaijan.
