Russia and was one of the prominent figures of the 1990s, who left
his bright and memorable trace in history.
Everybody in Armenia loved and respected Boris Nikolayevich. He made
a great contribution to the development of Armenian-Russian relations

solid foundation, on which the Armenian-Russian strategical partnership
is based today, was being formed.
On behalf of the government of the Republic of Armenia, I express
deep condolence in connection with this heavy loss of the Russian
citizens and request to convey my sympathy and condolence to the
