Moscow assumes that Russia and Armenia will remain partners and strategic allies united by common interests, Russian Ambassador to Armenia Sergey Kopyrkin said in an interview with TASS.
"We believe that Russia and Armenia remain partners and strategic allies united by common interests, shared history and close views on international issues, and that this alliance corresponds to the main interests of both participants. The embassy continues to work and develop our contacts on the basis of this understanding," he pointed out.
According to Kopyrkin, "the existence of certain disagreements in the bilateral and multilateral agenda cannot be denied, but both the Russian and Armenian sides are ready to discuss any controversial issues openly and in a constructive atmosphere, as befits allies."
"At this stage we do not observe any significant changes in the working process. We continue to work on the tasks set within the framework of the Russian-Armenian comprehensive cooperation. We are confident that the implementation of these tasks will benefit both the Russian and Armenian peoples," he added.
