YEREVAN — Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said he had a “very good meeting” with Russian President Vladimir Putin and that the two leaders agreed to continue their candid and constructive dialogue during his upcoming visit to Moscow.
“I had a very good meeting with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, and we agreed to continue our frank and constructive conversation during my upcoming visit to Moscow,” Pashinyan wrote on Facebook, where he also posted a video.
The prime minister emphasized the importance of Armenia-Russia relations for both countries, noting that both sides treat the relationship with considerable care.
“We must acknowledge that bilateral relations—Armenia-Russia relations—are extremely important for both countries, and we approach these relations very carefully. The Russian Federation, under President Putin’s leadership, also treats these relations with care,” Pashinyan said.
“At the same time, we must recognize that in the new environment and under new circumstances, there is a need to redefine these relations. I am convinced that as a result of this process, our relations will become better, more constructive, more mutually beneficial and warmer,” he added.
