ArmInfo.Russia has always been a reliable ally of Armenia. On September 18, Armenian Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan said at the Sixth Pan-Armenian Forum "Armenia-Diaspora" held in Yerevan under the motto "Mutual trust, unity and responsibility".
"I made my first visit to Russia as a defense minister, and regardless of the various rumors and meanings, Russia continues to be a trusted ally for us." I can say that Moscow sells weapons to us under very favorable conditions, "the minister said.
Noting the important role of Russia in providing the Armed Forces of Armenia, Sargsyan said that this role does not mean that Armenia has no other ties. In this context, the minister recalled that his second visit took place in Greece, after which he visited Georgia, Iran and China. The minister plans to visit Canada, where he hopes to meet with the local Armenian community.
