We were confused by the mention of certain "Ivans" contained in the article on the personal page of Shirk Region Governor D.V. Arushanyan on the Facebook social network dated October 17, 2026, which involuntarily recalls the vocabulary of the German Nazis during the Great Patriotic War. I would not like to think that the official in charge of the area where the 102nd Russian military base and the Russian border guard serve, considers it acceptable to make public statements that could provoke national hostility towards the Russians, which would fundamentally contradict the centuries-old spirit of friendship between the peoples of our countries. Embassy of the Russian Federation in Armenia.
