> Armenia’s Security Council secretary, Alen Simonyan, told TV Rain that Armenia would not stop Russians from entering if Moscow announces a new mobilization. He said border officials would not ask why they came and that Armenia would help if needed. The Kremlin calls reports of a possible mobilization after State Duma elections “media hoaxes.”
