I do not say this as something necessarily negative about Russian culture, but it could be depending on the context.

Russians have a strong culture of sarcasm in their speech, and also “we told you so” type of thing. If you are familiar with this as well as with how generally Kremlin handles this types of situation, you know that this is a threat. It’s all in his wording and body language.

Most Armenians in Armenia, Russia and the rest of the post soviet countries are familiar with this type of speech and behavior so it’s a direct message to Armenians that may hear it.
