The Russian Embassy in Armenia reacted sharply to Governor Chirak's post on the social network "We were confused by the mention of certain "Ivans" contained in the entry on the personal page of the Governor of the Chirak region D.V. Arushanyan on the social network Facebook dated October 17, 2026, which inevitably resembles 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 guards serve, considers it acceptable to make public statements that could provoke national hostility towards Russians, something that would fundamentally contradict the centuries-old spirit of friendship between the peoples of our countries." We note that Arushanian wrote:
"A few cameras, a few worried faces, a few loud sentences about "our humor" - and now another political performance is ready. All that's left is to find an audience. But there is a slight inconvenience here: Gyumri is not your "Nizhny Tabor", and the inhabitants of Gyumri are not your "Ivans". N. on. We are hospitable people, we value our guests very much. But don't try to jump over our heads; Falling from a height hurts. Tourists, beware." Parallel in Telegram maximum | | preposition
