YEREVAN, AUGUST 26, ARMENPRESS. Next five years are going to be a period of expanding and developing the existing relations with Russia for the Republic of Artsakh, Artsakh presidential spokesman Vahram Poghosyan said on Facebook.

“The Republic of Artsakh is building its relations with the Russian Federation with the logic of friendly policy. One of the largest Armenian communities is in Russia, and most of Armenians who ever emigrated from Artsakh have settled in Russia. In order to meet the demand for keeping the close ties with the compatriots, the airtime of programs in Russian broadcast on public TV will soon increase through a legislative amendment at the initiative of the President of the Republic and Free Fatherland-United Civilian Alliance bloc and United Fatherland party”, he said.

Poghosyan also informed that according to another initiative the teaching time of Russian language will also increase.

“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
