Russian-Armenian friendship stood test of time - foreign minister
YEREVAN. March 14
The sale of weapons by Russia to Azerbaijan does not influence the
friendly relations between Armenia and Russia, Armenian Foreign
Minister Edvard Nalbandyan said.
"We would prefer it if Russia didn't sell weapons to Azerbaijan.
However, we are not asking countries that are friendly to us, our
partners to do anything to Armenia that could hurt others. As regards
the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, our expectations are reduced
to the support of the position of the co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk
Group, which expresses the approach of the international community,
not support of one side to the detriment of the other side,"
Nalbandyan said in an interview with the Slovenian newspaper Dnevnik,
the Foreign Ministry press service has reported.
Nalbandyan said Russia and Armenia are allies. "The word 'ally' has a
deep meaning. It means more than just a good friend, friendship. We
have close historical ties with Russia. Our friendship has stood the
test of time," Nalbandyan said.
