The Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council warned about the risks of the appearance of American PMCs in Armenia

American control of the “Trump route” in Armenia may entail the emergence of American private military companies (PMCs), as well as intelligence infrastructure, in the country. This was stated by Deputy Secretary of the Security Council (SC) of Russia Alexey Shevtsov, TASS reports.

“It should be borne in mind that the established American-Armenian company will be entrusted with ensuring security along the entire length of the road, while the Armenian side will carry out border and customs control,” said the Deputy Secretary of the Security Council.

According to the official, such a division of responsibilities means the possibility of American PMCs, as well as intelligence infrastructure, appearing in Armenia. He noted that due to the proximity of the border with Iran, the safety of the entire route and transportation along it may be in question.
