ArmInfo. In Russia there have never been anti-Armenian sentiments, and Armenia has always supported the Russian Federation. On February 14, at the opening of the Armenia-Russia exhibition "Together" in the State Duma, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia Vladimir Zhirinovsky.
The deputy noted that the most painful topic for Armenia was and still is the Karabakh conflict. At the same time, Zhirinovsky half-jokingly said that if Karabakh joins Russia it could become a solution to the conflict, however, the MP at the same time noted that Artsakh is far from Russia. The MP also called on Armenia to increase the number of Russian soldiers in the country, and always look to the north, that is, to Moscow and the Kremlin, which will protect Armenians, since it is the southern direction that is the priority for the Russian Federation. In turn, the leader of the Communist Party of Russia Gennady Zyuganov said that thanks to joint efforts and mutual trust, Armenia and Russia achieved remarkable results. Zyuganov noted that he first met with Armenia thanks to Marshal of the Soviet Union Ivan Bagramyan. "We together with Marshal Baghramyan opened a monument to the heroes-tankers in the center of Eagle.
The second outstanding Armenian whom I met in Cuba was (Anastas) Mikoyan, who stayed on the island of Liberty for almost three weeks, trying to regulate the problem that then smelled of nuclear war" . It should be noted that the Armenia-Russia exhibition "Together" was timed to two important dates: the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Moscow and Yerevan and the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Russian and Novo-Nakhichevan eparchy of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The opening of the exhibition was attended by the Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Ara Babloyan, as well as the Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin.
