    Russian Embassy in Armenia gives a harsh response to the U.S. Embassy

    In response to the statement of the United States Embassy in the
    Republic of Armenia, Russian Federation's Embassy in Armenia has
    expressed its official stance: "It does not become a diplomatic
    mission to dictate the host country's authorities with whom and how
    they should maintain ties, especially using suggestive threats against
    the sovereign state. We suppose that the business community of Armenia
    is also able to independently see into the matter of business conduct
    and does not need any prompts", says the Russian Embassy's statement
    sent to ArmInfo.

    The Embassy of the Russian Federation in Armenia had to appear with
    such a statement in relation to the U.S. Embassy's statement
    disseminated among the state and business structures of Armenia. The
    U.S. statement concerns the risks stemming from the cooperation with
    the Russian companies and individuals on the list of the U.S.
    sanctions.

    "We are concerned about the U.S. attempts to complicate the activities
    of Russian business in Armenia. All the Russian companies in Armenia,
    including VTB Bank (Armenia) and Areximbank-Gazprombank Group are
    under the jurisdiction of Armenia, operate within the limits of
    Armenia's legislation, obtain profit and pay taxes in Armenia and
    secure the employment of the major part of Armenia's population. The
    calls to stop the contacts with the Russian companies disavow the U.S.
    representatives' hypocritical statements about their willingness to
    contribute to Armenia's economic development. One also definitely
    observes obvious elements of dishonest trade and economic competition
    in the USA's actions", says the official statement of the Russian
    Embassy in Armenia.

    The Russian Embassy takes the opportunity to reiterate the
    contrivedness and illegitimacy of the United States' anti-Russian
    sanctions, which will only complicate the Russian-U.S. relations and
    create an extremely unfavorable environment in international affairs.
    "Giving the impression of "consistency" in its current behavior,
    Washington, in fact, is trying to escape responsibility for the tragic
    developments in Ukraine and to settle accounts with Russia for the
    latter's independent policy", says the Russian Embassy in its
    statement.
