Armenia has handed Russia a note of protest over Solovyov's statements.

Russian Ambassador to Armenia Sergey Kopyrkin was summoned to the Armenian Foreign Ministry, where he was handed a note of protest over statements made by Russian journalist Vladimir Solovyov.
As reported by The Daily Baku, Armenian media outlets reported this.
"The Russian Ambassador to Armenia was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and received a letter of protest expressing deep indignation at the statements made on a state television channel. It was emphasized that they constitute an unacceptable infringement on the sovereignty of the Republic of Armenia, a hostile act, and a gross violation of the fundamental principles of friendly relations between Armenia and Russia," said a statement from Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ani Badalyan.
Earlier today, Deputy Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Ruben Rubinyan made a harsh remark about Vladimir Solovyov, calling him a "dog."
"The dog barks, but the caravan moves on. In this case, the dog is Russian businessman Samvel Karapetyan's close friend and fellow countryman, Solovyov, and the caravan is our beloved country, which is steadily moving toward lasting peace and development," he wrote on social media.
Recall that Vladimir Solovyov recently stated that the loss of Armenia is contrary to Russia's interests. Moreover, the TV host expressed the need to conduct "special military operations" not only in Ukraine but also in "other regions of the Russian sphere of influence, especially Armenia."
