I’m glad they’re waiting for me in Russia, I know that they’re waiting, and I’m always waiting for the next opportunity to visit Russia. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at the press briefing after Thursday’s Cabinet meeting of the Armenian government—and referring to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk’s statement that they would be happy to see Pashinyan in Russia again.

“As you can see, there is a fairly active practice of mutual visits [between Armenian and Russian officials]. Yes, such a visit is planned for the end of September, too. But before that visit, I will have the opportunity to communicate with the Russian president in Beijing; we have had a phone conversation this month,” the Armenian premier added.
