ArmInfo. Moscow expects productive contacts at the highest level with Yerevan as part of the events within the Eurasian Economic Union and the CIS in Moscow.
Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin made this statement at the
second public forum "Russia – Armenia", as reported by TASS. "We
expect productive contacts between our leaders as part of the
upcoming December events within the Eurasian Economic Union and the
CIS in Moscow," he said.
According to Galuzin, despite the known challenges, there is an
ongoing rhythmic multifaceted dialogue between Russia and Armenia. He
added that Moscow remains committed to upholding all agreements with
Yerevan and fulfilling its obligations to its allies, including in
the military-political sphere. "We have been collaboratively shaping
the security framework in the South Caucasus for years," he said. "As
we see, Russia's role in this regard has always been and will
continue to be essential, especially given the evolving situation in
the region and globally. We are ready for a frank and substantive
discussion with Yerevan on this pressing issue."
The Deputy Minister emphasized that the Russian Federation sincerely
values its relationship with Armenia and its people. "We always try
to treat the Russian-Armenian alliance with great care. The relations
between our countries are based on centuries-old traditions of
friendship, common history, cultures and value systems, as well as
numerous material achievements and projects," Galuzin added. The
Deputy Minister noted that the countries in the Transcaucasia should
be vigilant and work together, as the "bombs" of interference from
the countries of the collective West are falling everywhere.
"Speaking about Transcaucasia in this context, we have just witnessed
how the Georgian leadership and Georgian society were subjected to
the most severe, simply insulting attacks and the most intense
pressure from the collective West for defending traditional values.
The government implemented a pragmatic policy in line with the
national interests of the Georgian people. This is very close to
Armenia. We see these bombs of Western interference falling
everywhere. I believe that all countries in the Caucasus and their
neighbors must be very cautious and vigilant. Joint measures are
necessary to ensure that the issues of the Caucasus are resolved by
the efforts of the Caucasians themselves," the deputy minister added.
