Welcoming the Armenian diplomat, Putin said: “We share centuries-old ties of friendship and mutual understanding with Armenia. President Serzh Sargsyan’s visit yesterday once again showed that Russia and Armenia are reliable allies, supporting each other and working together to further the Eurasian integration process. Our countries are successfully developing their cooperation in the economy, trade, investment, and the military-technical sector. We are broadening our contacts in tourism, culture, science and education. Our countries’ regions are developing close cooperation ties. Russia is ready to act as a mediator and make every effort to help resolve regional conflicts.”
