The Kremlin Commented on Events in Armenia, Turkey and Kazakhstan

Russia is worried over political turbulence in neighboring countries but is confident in due security level at its borders, Russian President’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on July 18, RIA Novostu reports.

“The country’s security along its border perimeter is ensured at a proper level. However necessary measures are being taken in view of the latest reports,” Peskov said. At the same time, he noted that the situation in Turkey, Armenia and Kazakhstan cannot be considered in the same way.

“Each concrete case should be analyzed individually,” he added. “In one case, it was an attempt at a state coup which resulted in numerous human casualties. In another case, it was about criminal activities. But, naturally, we would like to see our neighbors as stable, prosperous and predictable states. And in this case, we have all the grounds to believe that our neighbors have all the potential to be such,” the Kremlin spokesman said.
