Yerevan, 10 November: The ambassador of the Russian Federation to
Armenia, Anatoliy Dryukov, considers that “the level of relations
reached between Armenia and Russia can be described as very high”.

Anatoliy Dryukov voiced this opinion today at a meeting with professors
and teachers of Yerevan’s Grachya Acharyan University.

Commenting on the presence of pro-Western and pro-Russian moods in
Armenia, the Russian ambassador said that “if Armenia prioritizes its
national interests, then the vector of relations will remain correct”.

At present, Armenia and Russia are facing the task of maintaining
and expanding relations that have shaped between the countries for
centuries, Dryukov said. He said that several negative points in
bilateral relations “are of no significance” and “are temporary
in nature”.
