Russia's national holiday - the Fatherland Defender's Day - is a good
occasion to emphasize the exclusive role of ally relations between
Russia and Armenia, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said
on Thursday.
On behalf of the Armenian government, he congratulated Russians on
the occasion of the holiday.
"Today's holiday is an occasion to emphasize the exclusive role of
ally relations between our countries," he said at a reception at the
Russian embassy. "Strategic partnership between Armenia and Russia
is constantly developing. Year by year, our relations are gaining
new content and are strengthened through new programs and ideas."
"This holiday is dear to the citizens of Armenia as well, especially
for people of the older generation," he noted and took the chance to
congratulate "veterans who fought hand in hand with their comrades
from other republics of the former Soviet Union during World War II,
scarifying their lives in a common struggle against Nazism." "Their
lives will always be an example of real patriotism, courage and
heroism," he added.
"On the Fatherland Defender's Day we recall the heroic pages of our
common history," he said.
Among guests at the Russian embassy there were Armenian Minister of
Defence Seiran Oganyan, chief-of-staff of the Armenian armed forces
Colonel General Yuri Khachaturov, defence minister's deputies,
top-ranking officers, veterans and representatives from public
movements.
