Search for Russian trace in coup attempt in Armenia is fake, Maria Zakharova says

It's amazing how times change. I had heard from some politicians in Armenia that seizing power is real democracy. Maria Zakharova, the spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), stated this at Friday’s press briefing—and commenting on the search for Russian traces in the recent coup attempt in Armenia.
"The attempts of a number of Armenia’s officials to spin the report of the Investigative Committee of Armenia on preventing the coup attempt, to find some Russian trace in it, are absurd and do not withstand any criticism; this is an officially launched fake,” said Russian MFA spox.
She emphasized what has been noted many times: unlike the West, Russia does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
"It is unfortunate that some circles of the [Armenian] republic are adopting the plundered tactics of Western countries, which in recent decades have resorted to promoting Russophobic sentiments by way of looking for an imaginary Russian threat," Zakharova added.
The Investigative Committee of Armenia on Wednesday announced the preventing of an attempt to usurp power in Armenia, in which the residents of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh were involved. According to its data, seven people were recruited this year by certain persons—whose identity has not yet been revealed, and for 220,000 rubles per month, each of them was sent to a three-month training camp in Russia to get familiarized with the new heavy weapons, to train on the skills of using them, and to carry out combat duty.
