The partnership and allied nature of Russian-Armenian relations should be the guarantee that such sad incidents should not happen. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated this responding to Armenian News-NEWS.am's question regarding the Armenian authorities' ban on the entry of Aram Gabrelyanov, the founder of News Media Holding, into Armenia.

"Armenia is a sovereign country. At the same time, the partnership and allied nature of our relations should be a guarantee that such sad incidents should not happen," Peskov's comment states.

A few days ago, Russian journalist and publisher, founder of News Media Holding Aram Gabrelyanov was banned from entering Armenia and was added on the country’s list of persona non grata. Later, Gabrelyanov announced his intention to sue the Armenian government in this regard.
