Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan received Russian Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Volynkin who is completing his diplomatic mission in our country. To begin with, Karen Karapetyan expressed condolences on the tragedy that had occurred several days before in Kemerovo. The Prime Minister thanked the Ambassador for cooperation and fruitful work, noting that he appreciated Mr. Volynkin’s personal contribution and efforts toward the development of bilateral relations. “It should be noted that we have unique relationship with the Russian Federation. But this does not mean that we should rest, especially considering that we have a great field of work and, in general, we need to work continuously in order to maintain and strengthen the ties of friendship. I wish you all the best and I am sure you will not forget us. We will always be happy to see you in Armenia,” Karen Karapetyan said, stressing that there is still a great field of work. Ambassador Volynkin noted that it was a great honor for him to work in friendly Armenia and contribute to the development of Armenian-Russian friendly relations. “I would like to express my gratitude for cooperation and warm relations. I am leaving Armenia with mixed feelings as I felt at home over here. I am sure that by leaving Yerevan, I will not give up my ties with Armenia,” the Ambassador noted.
