Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenia’s new ambassador to Russia Gurgen Arsenyan said he would work on the improvement of relations between Moscow and Yerevan.

TASS reported that at a meeting with Grigory Karasin, chair of the Federation Council’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, the ambassador said:

“I have come to make efforts in these turbulent times and improve Armenian-Russian relations, to bring them to a state satisfactory for us. Armenia is a country that has an ally and a signed alliance treaty. Armenia is in an economic union with Russia. But I absolutely do not understand what is happening in the media space. Are we proceeding from the reality or some imaginary pictures?”
