The statement that the presence of Russian troops poses a threat to the security of Armenia is absurd.

APA's Moscow correspondent reports that Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, said this while commenting on the statement made by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at the press conference.

"Our soldiers and border guards have been making a significant contribution to Armenia's security and protecting its borders for decades.

It is impossible to deny this objective reality," said the Russian MFA spokesman.
