Russian Foreign Ministry assesses current relations with Armenia

Russia and Armenia will live ‘in peace and harmony,’ Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.

The history of Moscow-Yerevan relations forms the foundation for the development of bilateral cooperation, she told TASS.

"It’s not about me lecturing Armenia’s young participants [of the World Youth Festival], but it’s about them approaching me speaking about the possible development of bilateral relations, they ask to take pictures and they share gifts," Zakharova said. 

She stressed that they dream of living in peace and harmony.

"Moreover, we have a fantastic foundation laid regarding our relations’ history. I have no doubts that this foundation should be used by new generations as the platform for the development of bilateral relations in the future," the spokesperson said.
