Zakharova: Moscow and Yerevan bound by special relationship and  sincere love between two peoples

ArmInfo.  Moscow and Yerevan are bound by a special relationship and sincere love between the peoples of the two countries. This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova in an interview with blogger Olga Blagoveshchenskaya.

"For us, Armenia is not just a sovereign state-of course, that is  true. It is sovereign, independent, a state with ancient roots and a  stunning culture. But it is also a state with which we have a special  relationship due to our shared history, due to so many things we have  in common: shared families, projects, businesses, intertwined  destinies. That's how I would describe it," the diplomat said.

According to her, Armenia and Russia are bound by a vast, shared  world. She added that, among other things, the countries are linked  by interstate relations. "From our side, there's always been nothing  but help and support, which, in my opinion, was linked both to  geopolitical factors, as diplomats say, and to what I call love. A  sincere love between peoples and cultures, mutual understanding-those  are true bonds," the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson noted.

Zakharova noted that it is in this spirit that Russia has built and  continues to build relations with Armenia. 

"I'm not even mentioning how much the Russian president has  personally done to stop bloody conflicts and assist during difficult  times, and to do everything possible to ensure Armenia's development.  So much has truly been accomplished in terms of economics, energy,  industry, and so on. This is our approach, and we adhere to it," she  said.
