Interfax - Russia & CIS General Newswire Friday 10:19 PM MSK Pashinyan says Putin and he have 'absolute mutual understanding' YEREVAN. Sept 28 The post-revolutionary stage of Armenian-Russian relations can be seen as finished, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said. "I had a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Dushanbe. We discussed issues on the Armenian-Russian agenda. Following our last meeting, if you remember, I've said that we may acknowledge that our relations have truly reached a new level and have never been at such a high level. Following today's meeting, I would afford this wording: the transitional post-revolutionary stage of Armenian-Russian relations can be seen as finished," Pashinyan said live on his Facebook account. Pashinyan said Putin and he enjoyed "absolute mutual understanding." "This doesn't mean we agree on all matters and there are no differences in our opinions. There are no unsolvable problems in our relations. An excellent working atmosphere has been formed, we can discuss any matter in an atmosphere of respect, in an atmosphere of respect for our sovereignty, and in an atmosphere of non-interference in our internal affairs. And there are no reasons to be surprised when the leader of Armenia says about respect for sovereignty in a conversation with the president of Russia," Pashinyan said. "The Russian president first started talking [about respect for sovereignty of other countries] during our first meeting in Sochi," Pashinyan said. "Speaking at a dinner table, Vladimir Putin said he knew there were opinions that Russia treated sovereignty of its partners with insufficient respect, which is not the case. He assured me that he fully respects sovereignty of [Russia's] partners and emphasizes the importance of the respect for sovereignty principle in our relations. He said we would work and I would see that this is truly so. And time has shown that this is truly so," Pashinyan said. "When I say now about respect for sovereignty, I emphasize this as an important achievement and a basis that will guarantee natural development of our relations," he said. Va
