In practice, these issues do not exit, and I think I have stated repeatedly that the strategy and overall idea of our relations is understandable, here there are not so many things to discuss, but in my opinion, our meetings are very useful in order to discuss on how to raise our relations to a new level. I think both Moscow and Yerevan are sincerely interested in this. I am happy that during the past 2.5 months we had many occasions to discuss all issues. It’s obvious for me that our relations are developing very effectively, and in practice I don’t have doubts that this will not only continue, but will be more effective," Pashinyan added.
