Kremlin hopes Armenia will maintain order and stability
The Kremlin is satisfied that the situation in Armenia is not destabilizing and hopes that stability will be preserved, and a political consensus will be reached, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday, according to TASS agency.
"Now we see that the situation is not destabilizing, and we are satisfied," Peskov said, stressing that the events in Yerevan are a domestic affair of Armenia, which is Russia's valuable partner.
Peskov also noted that drawing parallels between the current events in Armenia and the past developments in Ukraine is inappropriate.
"I would not draw any parallels, because this is a totally different situation, and one can hardly draw direct parallels here," the Kremlin spokesman told reporters. According to Peskov, "of course, this situation [in Armenia] is yet to be analyzed, we are keeping a close eye on it."
