RFE: Russian Spy Chief Visits Armenia Three Days After CIA Director 

The head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) met with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian in Yerevan on July 18, three days after CIA Director William Burns made an unexpected visit to Armenia. 

The Armenian government's press office said Sergei Naryshkin discussed "international and regional security" and the "processes taking place in the South Caucasus" with Pashinian. It did not elaborate. 

The office used the same words in a statement on Pashinian's meeting with Burns on July 15. It said they also touched upon "the fight against terrorism." 

Neither the CIA nor the U.S. State Department has commented on what was the first-ever publicized visit to Armenia by a CIA director.

WNU Editor: Details on CIA Director Burns visit to Armenia is here .... CIA Director Meets With Armenian Prime Minister, Security Council Secretary In Yerevan (RFE). 

I do not believe in coincidences. The odds of CIA Director Burns and the head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Sergei Naryshkin being in the same city meeting the same people all within a few days are next to impossible. 

One has to wonder if Armenia is being used as a back-channel by the U.S. and Russia? Hmmm .... my gut says yes.
