Russian MFA: Moscow remains committed to its obligations to allies,  including in the military-political sphere

ArmInfo. Moscow expects productive contacts at the highest level with Yerevan as part of the events within the Eurasian Economic Union and the CIS in Moscow.   Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin made this statement at the  second public forum "Russia - Armenia", as reported by TASS. "We  expect productive contacts between our leaders as part of the  upcoming December events within the Eurasian Economic Union and the  CIS in Moscow," he said.

According to Galuzin, despite the known challenges, there is an  ongoing rhythmic multifaceted dialogue between Russia and Armenia. He  added that Moscow remains committed to upholding all agreements with  Yerevan and fulfilling its obligations to its allies, including in  the military-political sphere. "We have been collaboratively shaping  the security framework in the South Caucasus for years," he said. "As  we see, Russia's role in this regard has always been and will  continue to be essential, especially given the evolving situation in  the region and globally. We are ready for a frank and substantive  discussion with Yerevan on this pressing issue." 

The Deputy Minister emphasized that the Russian Federation sincerely  values its relationship with Armenia and its people. "We always try  to treat the Russian-Armenian alliance with great care. The relations  between our countries are based on centuries-old traditions of  friendship, common history, cultures and value systems, as well as  numerous material achievements and projects," Galuzin added. The  Deputy Minister noted that the countries in the Transcaucasia should  be vigilant and work together, as the "bombs" of interference from  the countries of the collective West are falling everywhere. 

"Speaking about Transcaucasia in this context, we have just witnessed  how the Georgian leadership and Georgian society were subjected to  the most severe, simply insulting attacks and the most intense  pressure from the collective West for defending traditional values.  The government  implemented a pragmatic policy in line with the  national interests of the Georgian people. This is very close to  Armenia. We see these bombs of Western interference falling  everywhere. I believe that all countries in the Caucasus and their  neighbors must be very cautious and vigilant. Joint measures are  necessary to ensure that the issues of the Caucasus are resolved by  the efforts of the Caucasians themselves," the deputy minister added.
