Deputy Secretary of Russia’s Security Council Alexey Shevtsov said that “some NGOs in Armenia and Moldova” are working to discredit Russia.
According to him, there are currently around 14,000 NGOs registered in Moldova and about 9,000 in Armenia.
“If we look at the statistics, there are about 14,000 NGOs in Moldova and around 9,000 in Armenia. And all of them are working… perhaps not all, but the majority are clearly working to discredit bilateral relations, as well as integration processes in the post-Soviet space,” Shevtsov said, as reported by RIA Novosti.
He made the statement in Moscow during the conference titled “Contours of a New Architecture of Collective Security: Current Issues of CSTO Information and Analytical Partnership.”
