Russian FM: Armenian protests are purely economic, but attempts made to politicize them
The ongoing protests in Armenia following the decision to raise electricity prices are purely economic by nature, but attempts are being made to politicize them, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
