Russian spy chief: Armenia trip not connected to American colleague’s visit

Head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Naryshkin has said that his visit to Yerevan has nothing to do with the recent trip of CIA Director William Burns to the Armenian capital.

Naryshkin made the remarks in an interview with Russian media in Yerevan on Monday, July 15.

"My visit to Yerevan is definitely not connected with the arrival of my American colleague," the Russian spy chief said.

The head of the Central Intelligence Agency arrived in Armenia on July 15 and held talks with the top leadership of the country.
