Armenia Attempting to Force Russian Owners to Divest Assets, Says Russian Security Council
A Russian Security Council official claims Armenia is pressuring Russian asset owners to sell their holdings.
Security Council Deputy Secretary Alexey Shevtsov alleged that Armenia is attempting to compel Russian owners to divest their assets, characterizing the tactic as harmful to Armenia's own economy, according to TASS.
Shevtsov described the approach as a "shot in the foot" for Armenian economic interests, though he did not provide specific details about which assets or Russian owners are involved or the mechanisms Armenia is allegedly using to pressure divestment.
