Leader of the opposition Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan was hosted by Ambassador of Russia to Armenia Sergey Kopirkin. This is posted on Tsarukyan’s Facebook page.
“The Armenian-Russian political, economic and strategic cooperation must unequivocally be strengthened. The Russian and Armenian peoples have a future together. For the past 15 years, I have expressed certainty that our countries need to prosper together,” Tsarukyan said.
Tsarukyan added that there are anti-Russian moods in the political field in Armenia and that this is inadmissible. He also said the people working against Russia are obstructing the strengthening of Armenian-Russian relations and Armenia’s development.
During the meeting, the interlocutors also discussed the post-war situation in the region, the return of prisoners of war and other major issues related to domestic politics.
