According to her, Kazakhstan and Armenia have close historical and cultural ties, while fruitful cooperation is carried out within the integration associations of EAEU, CSTO, CIS, etc.

The Secretary of State congratulated the ambassador in connection with the snap parliamentary elections held in Armenia and expressed confidence that newly-elected Armenian Parliament's active work will have positive impact on the further strengthening of bilateral partnership.

“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
