Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the Moscow authorities are elaborating a joint document in collaboration with Yerevan to rule out foreign servicemen’s presence on the territory of Armenia.

In an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, the Russian official said they are determined to avert possible risks through ensuring transparency.

“We are close to completing the preparation of the document that will guarantee foreign servicemen’s absence there [in Armenia] to make everything transparent in terms of [averting] risks and hazards,” he said.

Meantime Lavrov emphasized that Russia has considerably fewer diplomats compared to the United States.
