Strategic partnership between Armenia and Russia develops successfully
in all fields, Armenian parliament speaker Hovik Abrahamyan said.
At the meeting with Russian Federation Council chairperson Valentina
Matviyenko on Wednesday, Abrahamyan said, "The activity of the
inter-parliamentary commission for cooperation between the Armenian
National Assembly and the Russian Federation Assembly facilitates
this."
"Due to the years-long work of the commission, inter-parliamentary
relations between Russia and Armenia became systematic. A legal base
has been created and it allows both parties to maintain interaction
in all fields," the Armenian speaker said.
He expressed confidence that the new membership of the
inter-parliamentary commission would work successfully and achieve
new significant results.
He considered relations between Russia and Armenia trusting.
Abrahamyan said, "Of course, such relationship affects
inter-parliamentary cooperation between the National Assembly of
Armenia and the Federal Assembly of Russia."
"In recent years the level of Russian-Armenian inter-parliamentary
relations has considerably increased. Inter-parliamentary contacts
have also intensified," the Armenian parliament speaker said.
In his view, "the meetings between the chairpersons of our legislative
structures facilitate this. They open broad opportunities to discuss
measures to improve inter-parliamentary cooperation and contribute
to strengthening ally relationship between Armenia and Russia."
