The peculiarity of our strategic partnership with Russia is the fact
that Armenia does not have common borders with Russia, Armenian PM
Tigran Sargsyan said in an interview with rbc.
"This means we are obligated to invent new contemporary methods for
collaboration, ties with Russia. And in this sense the modern world
is allowing us new possibilities. [And] All that makes it possible
to expand our cooperation," Sargsyan noted.
Speaking about the position of the Russian language in Armenia, the
PM said this language's neutralization is impossible in Armenia. "It
is just that other languages, which compete with one another, have
emerged in our linguistic environment.
But today we see that the [Armenian] youth are studying not only
English, but also Chinese, Farsi, for example. They see a demand in
the market. We likewise need to look at the language issue from a
new viewpoint," Tigran Sargsyan noted.
