Russian diplomat: "EU tries to step into post-Soviet territory as a "mediator””

“The launch of the EU mission in Armenia is Brussels’ attempt to step into the post-Soviet territory, using the results obtained through Russia’s mediation in the settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations,” Kirill Logvinov said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

He noted that there is also a significant anti-Russian component in the issue.

“They want to neutralize the historic role of our country as a guarantor of security,” Kirill Logvinov said.
