VIDEO. Are relations with Russia currently strained? A question for the Deputy Foreign Minister

“I am not thoroughly familiar with Zakharova’s latest statement, but I will simply reiterate: the Minister’s visit is already evidence that our approach is to discuss all relevant issues for both sides in a working style and calm atmosphere,” said Paruir Hovhannisyan, Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia, during a press briefing.

This statement comes in response to a question regarding Zakharova’s criticism of Prime Minister Pashinyan's statement related to the CSTO. Reporters asked how this is assessed and what perceptions the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has on the matter, particularly whether there are indeed strained relations with our strategic partner at this time.
