Russian Security Official Accuses West of Interfering in Armenia, Georgia
Sergey Shoigu says Western nations are openly seeking to influence political developments in the two South Caucasus states, according to TASS.
A senior Russian security official has accused Western countries of interfering in the internal political affairs of Armenia and Georgia, the Russian state news agency TASS reported.
Sergey Shoigu, who currently serves as secretary of Russia's Security Council, said Western nations are acting without restraint in the region. "The Westerners are openly and brazenly seeking to interfere in the political situation," Shoigu was quoted as saying by TASS.
The statement, reported by TASS, did not specify which countries or specific actions Shoigu was referring to, nor did it detail what evidence, if any, supports the claim.
Armenia and Georgia, both former Soviet republics in the South Caucasus, have in recent years pursued closer ties with Western institutions, including the European Union, even as Moscow has sought to maintain its traditional influence in the region.
TASS did not indicate whether Western governments or officials have responded to Shoigu's remarks. The claims could not be independently verified.
