YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 7, ARMENPRESS: The Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia have obligations towards each other, including ensuring territorial integrity, sovereignty preservation and security.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova said at a briefing with journalists on February 7, in response to a journalist's question whether Russia had received any signals from Armenia regarding the change of the foreign political vector.

"Our countries continue to be partners, and we hope that the Armenian authorities will take all that into account amidst the current geopolitical changes, making the right choice.

Yerevan is also under collective security guarantees of the CSTO, including in the event of possible military aggression," said Zakharova, emphasizing that there is a legal document base between Russia and Armenia in the fields of security and military-technical cooperation.

“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
