๐ท๐บ๐ฆ๐ฒ President of Russia Vladimir Putin met in Sochi with Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan.
October 31, 2022
๐ฌ President Putin: We see the approaches of our colleagues to what is going on at the Armenia-Azerbaijan border and around Nagorno-Karabakh. This conflict is decades old, and I agree, it is time to finally settle it. I know that you have the political will to do so, and we support it by all means.
I will let myself remind you about how the agreement on the ceasefire was reached, when we all proceeded from the need to establish peace and create conditions for development, including the development of the economy of Armenia <...>. Therefore, we need to cover all of these issues today, and I strongly hope that we will make headway.
We have always proceeded from the fact that Armenia has been our strategic partner and an ally from ancient times and to the present day, as I already said at the meeting with the CSTO leaders. So, this is a special situation for us.

๐ท๐บ๐ฆ๐ฒ Following the #CSTO summit, President of Russia Vladimir Putin had a separate meeting with Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan.
๐ฌ President Putin: First, I would like to thank you for your invitation, and to congratulate you on a successful CSTO chairmanship, nearly its successful completion. Indeed, Armenia was actively engaged in this work at a very high level.
You also spoke about our bilateral relations that are certainly allied and have roots that go deep into ancient times.
As for today, indeed, our trade increased by 12 percent last year and by 67 percent in the first nine months of this year. Yes, this is partly due to the situation today, but it will certainly be a good contribution to the future, we have no doubt about that.

๐ท๐บ๐ฆ๐ฒ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrovโs opening remarks during talks with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan
๐ Moscow, March 20, 2023
๐ฌ As of now, we are the leading trade partner and investor in Armeniaโs economy. Last year set a record, with trade almost doubling to about $5 billion (for the time being, we still calculate in dollars, but it is temporary). All of this has helped your country to ensure record high GDP growth of more than 12.5 percent and a surge in business activity.
An important topic at our talks today is cooperation in the Eurasian space, the #CSTO, the #CIS and the #EAEU space, as well as interaction at multilateral venues, including the #UN and the #OSCE.
We will also focus on international security issues, including the Lachin Corridor and Nagorno-Karabakh settlement process, which is one of our priorities.
