    “Moscow paid and trained a ring of insurgents in a bid to overthrow Armenia’s pro-Western government earlier this year, prosecutors in the country have said, but local security forces disrupted the alleged plot.”

    “The Russian Ministry of Defense did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”

    Apparently the prosecutors confirmed that Kremlin was involved in this plot, although it’s unclear if this is Politico’s opinion or direct quote from the department.

  2. Despite the claim in the title and body of this article, it’s noteworthy that the actual statement (unless I have missed something) by the Armenian govt never claims that Russia paid/trained these people, rather that the training was done on Russian territory

    Considering what Russias doing in Ukraine right now, it’s not unlikely they would try this in Armenia.
