YEREVAN, November 27. /TASS/. Armenia’s government will work to take relations with Russia to a new level, the country’s Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Tuesday, addressing an electoral rally in the town of Vanadzor, which was broadcast live by local news outlets.

"We should continue work to strengthen relations with our strategic partner, Russia," he said. "Relations need to be taken to a totally new level within the CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization] and the EAEU [Eurasian Economic Union], as well as on the bilateral track," Pashinyan stressed.

Armenia’s acting prime minister has on numerous occasions reaffirmed the country’s commitment to allied relations with Russia at every level. Pashinyan also said that following the May 8, 2018, change of power, relations between Armenia and Russia had reached an unprecedented high.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
