Russian-Armenian relations have been developing in the spirit of
partnership and mutual respect, Armenian President Robert Kocharian
said in his greeting message to participants in the congress of the
Union of Armenians of Russia.

“Representatives of the Armenian and Russian diasporas always played an
important role in the two countries’ relations. The Armenian diaspora
fully integrated into the Russian society contributing to all areas
of its activities,” he said.

The Union of Armenians of Russia made a considerable contribution
“to keeping good traditions of cooperation between the two countries,”
Kocharian said.

He expressed the hope that this organization would help translate
into reality projects involving all Armenians of Russia into multiple
activities both in Armenia and Russia.
