Russian Ambassador to Armenia Sergey Kupirkin said that Russia is ready to continue military cooperation with Armenia, although everything will depend on the political will of the parties. He said this in an interview with public radio.
Among the diplomat's key statements:
A "new balance" is needed in bilateral relations - relations in different fields must be discussed and adjusted.
For Russia, Armenia was, is and will be a very important country, and the relations between the nations have lasting value.
Moscow is ready to take into account the interests and needs of Yerevan - in nuclear energy, transportation and other areas.
Restrictions on the import of some Armenian goods to the Russian Federation are related to the need to bring products to Russian phytosanitary and sanitary standards;.
The European Union today is no longer what it was before, including in relation to Russia, but the choice remains with Armenia and its people, and Moscow would like it to be made as soon as possible.
