This day is not just Russia’s but part of our joint history, it is the holiday of our two countries, Russian ambassador to Armenia Sergey Kopirkin told today at the reception in the Russian embassy dedicated to the Day of Homeland’s Defender.
“The states are based on their firm Armed Forces, which are considered the guarantors of their freedom and independence, but in contemporary world it is always necessary to have the support of the ally states. Only thanks to the strong and lasting ties between the allies it is possible to solve the most important issues the international community is facing – ensuring peace and security both in the world and the region,” he stressed.
The ambassador stressed that today the Armenian-Russian military cooperation is developing more.
“The Russian army which is fairly considered one of the strongest in the world, throughout the years shares its experience with Armenia, cooperates in bilateral projects. We attach great significance to Armenia’s participation in the humanitarian mission in Syria. The presence of Armenian specialists in Syria once again underlines our special allied relations,” he noted.
