In the 30 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Russia, our relations have developed very dynamically. Russia and Armenia are strategic partners and allies. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia stated this Wednesday during his meeting in Moscow with chairperson Valentina Matviyenko of the Russian Federation Council.

He added that the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Russia is a very good opportunity to analyze the work that Yerevan and Moscow have done during this period.

"Many dramatic events have taken place during this period. We need to analyze everything and see where we have achieved the results we wanted to achieve and where we have not achieved so much, and, against this backdrop, to plan our future work, joint projects, and the further development of our relations. In this context, interparliamentary relations play a key role," Pashinyan stressed.

According to him, Russia and Armenia successfully cooperate within the framework of the EEU and the CIS.

"Even in the most effective formats, it is important to think about how to increase work efficiency, as more and more new challenges are emerging—especially in the 21st century. We need to collaborate very closely," added the Armenian PM.
