Kremlin warns Armenia could lose favorable gas deals if it turns away from Russia

A Kremlin spokesperson warned that Armenia could lose access to favorable Russian gas supplies if the country distances itself from Moscow. The statement comes amid ongoing tensions over Armenia's relationship with Russia, though Yerevan has indicated it has no interest in severing ties with Moscow. The warning highlights Russia's use of energy leverage to maintain influence over former Soviet states, as Armenia remains heavily dependent on Russian gas imports for its energy needs.
