Relations between Armenia, Russia not at their brightest point -  Mirzoyan

ArmInfo.  It is fair to note that relations between Armenia and the Russian Federation are not at  their brightest point. Foreign Minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan stated in an interview with Arab News, the RA MFA reports.

According to the source, Ararat Mirzoyan noted, in particular: "Well  it is fair to note that relations between Armenia and the Russian  Federation are not at their brightest point, I would say. Of Course,  there are complications and we can't and we don't want to hide these  complications. There are issues, and there are questions within the  Armenian society, for instance, regarding the behavior of Russian  peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh, but also regarding the behavior of  our Russian allies when our sovereign territories were being attacked  in 2022, 2023 and before that. So indeed there are some issues there  but we work on it," the Minister said.

As for relations with the European Union, according to the head of  the Foreign Ministry,  indeed the people of the Republic of Armenia  do have European aspirations.. "It is becoming more and more strong  on the background of the frustration that Armenian people had in  terms of Armenian-Russian relations, but not limited to that. I mean  Armenia is really deepening, significantly deepening its relations  with the United States, and with the European Union. They are our  main partners in our democratic reform agenda. Now they show a strong  willingness to support Armenia to strengthen Armenia's economic  resilience, but not only. So we are starting with the EU a new path  of close partnership, and so far none can say for sure where this  path will lead the two sides," the head of the RA Foreign Ministry  emphasized.
