Armenia and Russia maintain friendly ties, says Kremlin

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that Armenia and Russia continue to maintain friendly relations.

As fellow member states of the Eurasian Economic Union, the two countries remain in dialogue and continue to be friends, he said, according to the TASS news agency.

“We continue the dialogue, we continue to maintain dialogue with our Armenian friends, and we will continue to do so in the future,” TASS quoted Peskov as saying at a press briefing.

Asked again whether Moscow and Yerevan are friends, Peskov replied: “Absolutely. We are engaged in the most advanced integration processes with Armenia. We know that in Armenia there are political forces that fully support the Russian vector of development and are focused on deepening participation in integration processes involving Russia. Undoubtedly, we welcome such an approach, and we do not hide it,” he said.
