Russia is the main economic partner of Armenia with a market share of 26%, Russian Premier Mikhail Mishustin stated on Friday at a meeting with Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan. Mishustin said that 2200 Russian companies operate in Armenia.  “In 2018, bilateral trade turnover increased by 11%, and as you mentioned, it amounted for $2 billion USD last year. It kept growing in the previous year, registering 17.6% growth in January -November,” the head the of Russian government said.

In his words, Russia and Armenia enjoy close allied relations as the two countries cooperate in energy, industry, transport and cultural-humanitarian spheres.

“The new government of Russia is determined to continue our constructive relations, interactions with Armenian partners, including within the frames of intergovernmental commission which is co-chaired by Russian Minister of Transport Yevgeni Ditrikh. I want to emphasize that the positive dynamics should be encouraged along with efforts to identify new spheres for partnership,” added Mishustin.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
