The RA President Armen Sarkissian sent a congratulatory message to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on the occasion of his birthday.
The message particularly says:
"Armenia rightly appreciates your significant contribution to the development of allied relations, strategic partnership and mutually beneficial cooperation between our states in the political, economic, military-technical and humanitarian spheres. These relations are based on the centuries-old fraternal ties between the two peoples, the spiritual closeness, the high level of mutual trust, and the unity of approaches to modern problems.
I hope that Russia's efforts will allow us to stop the bloodshed in the Karabakh conflict zone in the coming days".
