Shoigu Calls Treatment of Russian-Backed Businesses in Armenia a 'Hostile Takeover'
Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu accused Armenia of pursuing an unfriendly policy and applying double standards toward Russian-linked companies, according to Russian state media.
Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu has described the treatment of Russian-backed businesses in Armenia as a "hostile takeover," according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
Shoigu said an unfriendly line toward Russian interests, along with what he characterized as blatant "double standards," was evident in how Armenian authorities have handled companies with Russian ties, TASS reported.
The specific businesses or measures referenced by Shoigu were not detailed in the available report. TASS did not provide additional context on the timing or scope of the actions he described.
The remarks come amid a broader period of strained relations between Moscow and Yerevan, with Russian officials in recent times having voiced concerns over Armenia's foreign policy direction and its economic ties with Russia.
Armenian officials have not been quoted in the source report responding to Shoigu's characterization. Further details on the businesses in question and any official Armenian response were not immediately available.
