ArmInfo. Armenian-Russian relations  did not undergo any special changes after the change of power in  Armenia, Russian Ambassador to Armenia Sergey Kopyrkin told reporters  during a planting ceremony of birch trees along the avenue in the  garden of the National Assembly of RA.

He noted that continuity is characteristic of the Armenian-Russian  relations, and today the relations between the countries are at a  rather high level. "Our relations have a very solid base and are  aimed at the future. Our peoples and the leaders of our countries  fully realize the importance of developing relations between the two  countries. Soon we are expecting the visit of Russian Prime Minister  Dmitry Medvedev to Armenia, who will participate in the meeting of  the intergovernmental council Eurasian Economic Union ", stressed the  Ambassador.

As for the upcoming meeting of the Prime Minister of Armenia with the  President of Russia, then, according to the Ambassador, these  meetings are fairly regular both in a bilateral format and in the  format of meetings of our integration associations. These meetings  are very important ", the ambassador noted.

In turn, Vice President of the National Assembly Alen Simonyan also  noted that relations between Armenia and Russia are developing  dynamically and are becoming better. "A new logic of relations has  developed between us, in which there is a complete mutual  understanding and voicing of existing problems. Our Russian  colleagues positively evaluated this style of work," said Simonyan.

As for the visit of the President of Russia to Armenia, Simonyan  noted that this visit was delayed due to the revolution that took  place, after which early parliamentary elections were held. "The  visit of the Russian President to Armenia will take place at the end  of this year. As you know, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's relations  with Russian President Vladimir Putin are at a very high level. The  leaders of two countries often meet. Moreover, I want to note that we  do not expect the visit only the president of Russia, but the heads  of other countries ", Simonyan said.

To note, earlier Speaker of the Federation Council of the Federal  Assembly of the Russian Federation, Valentina Matvienko, stated that  Prime Minister Nikolai Pashinyan and Russian President Vladimir Putin  could hold a bilateral meeting on the margins of the Supreme Council  of the Eurasian Economic Union, which will be held on May 29 in  Kazakhstan. The last meeting of the President of Russia with the  Prime Minister of Armenia was held in December 2018 in Moscow.
