Moscow/Yerevan, June 30 -- Armenia's current situation is the country's internal affair, but attacks on the church are very concerning, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov cautioned on Monday.
"It is clear that this is an internal matter for our neighbours, but, of course, attacks on the canonical thousand-year-old Armenian Apostolic Church are of grave concern.

Russia is interested in the situation in Armenia being resolved as soon as possible, the minister added.
