Framing Techniques Detected
Appeal to authority without attribution: Uses quotation marks around 'anti-Russian orbit' but provides no detail on ministry official, statement context, or full text
Passive voice obscuring agency: 'Armenia is being drawn/dragged' presents Armenia as object rather than actor, removing Armenian agency from narrative
Circular sourcing: Single source (Russian Foreign Ministry) making unverified characterization with no corroboration or alternative perspective
In-group/out-group framing: 'Anti-Russian orbit' uses geopolitical tribal language positioning EU and Armenia against Russia
