Claim 1: “Moscow had previously 'conveyed its negative attitude toward such steps to the Armenian side in a completely frank and partnership-oriented manner.'”
SINGLE SOURCE
While the provided evidence includes a TASS report that corroborates the first two claims, the specific quote regarding Moscow having previously 'conveyed its negative attitude... in a completely frank and partnership-oriented manner' is not explicitly repeated across multiple independent sources in the provided evidence set. Only the TASS source contextually supports the general sentiment of the diplomat's remarks.
