Russia’s Ministry of Defense reported that during the meeting Suren Papikyan said that this is the second meeting since the beginning of the year, which shows the high level of allied interaction between Armenia and Russia.

“This meeting is very important for us. We highly appreciate the level of Armenian-Russian interaction, as well as the role of Russia’s presence in the South Caucasus,” Papikyan said.
