(Reuters) - Russia on Friday summoned the Armenian ambassador for a
"harsh" protest about a list of what it termed"unfriendly steps", the latest sign of strain between Moscow and the small ex-Soviet republic in a region Russia considers its back yard.
Armenia, which hosts a Russian military base and relies almost entirely on Russia for its defence supplies, has complained bitterly in recent months that Russian peacekeepers have failed to end an Azerbaijani blockade of supplies to Nagorno-Karabakh, an ethnic Armenian enclave within Azerbaijan. He said Moscow, distracted by its war with Ukraine, had been unable to deliver and was winding down its role in the South Caucasus.
