“You know, we have interstate relations, and Armenia and Russia have a long history of relations. The history of those relations has certain institutional traditions. We are within those traditions”, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in an interview with France 24 television, in Paris.

In response to the question, whether he “at least keeps contact with Vladimir Putin now”, Pashinyan said “Yes, we had contacts and talked in December”.
