Russian Foreign Ministry hopes Armenia will choose to strengthen fraternal ties with Russia

Russia hopes that Yerevan’s choice will be a “historically correct” one in favour of strengthening fraternal relations with Moscow.

According to TASS, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov made the remarks while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

According to Ryabkov, recent developments show that Armenia needs to make a choice.

“We hope that the choice will be a historically correct one — in favour of strengthening the traditional, deep and fraternal relations with Russia, from which the Armenian people have always benefited and, I am confident, will continue to benefit,” Ryabkov said.
