The Arrest of six Russian TV journalists filming a report and documentary for alleged espionage was “driven by the desire of certain forces to further damage relations between Armenia and Russia," Center for Strategic Studies of South Caucasus Countries director Yevgeny Mikhaylov says.The Russian journalists were filming monasteries, churches and cultural sites for a documentary project, but Armenian authorities cliamed they were spying, he notes.Mikhaylov believes the arrests were prompted by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s fears of losing power ahead of elections.He Argued that the Armenian government and security services are now focused on keeping control and ensuring public support for their policies.Mikhaylov said Russian government warnings against traveling to Armenia were “not accidental.”He said Moscow sees growing risks to the rights of Russian citizens, and warned pressure could also be put on ethnic Armenians with ties to Russia, their businesses and even their relatives.
