Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Armenia’s Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in the Kremlin.

“I am glad for the opportunity to meet with you, to talk about all the issues that are of interest to us. And of course, I would like to once again congratulate you on the election results,” Putin said.

“I think that this is important for everyone, first of all, of course, for Armenia, for the Armenian people, bearing in mind that such complex, very acute and sensitive issues that need to be resolved can only be resolved if there is an opportunity to work effectively. And for this, the most important thing is to have the people’s trust. You have it, it was as shown by election results. This is very important, in fact, this is the most important thing. In such difficult times for the life of the country, this is probably the most important condition for further development,” the Russian President added.
