Artur Vanetsian, a leader of a major opposition bloc running in the upcoming Armenian parliamentary elections, called on Wednesday for Armenia’s “deeper integration” with Russia.
“Russia is our ally and Armenia cannot have a better ally,” Vanetsian told Vladimir Solovyov, an outspoken Russian TV host close to the Kremlin, in an interview live streamed on the latter’s YouTube channel. “We must have the right, straightforward relationship with Russia.”
“Russia is not an ordinary country, Russia is a superpower,” he said. “I think that after coming to power we will need to consider having closer cooperation, deeper integration processes with the Russian Federation. Relations between Armenia and Russia must be upgraded to a lever where nobody would be able to change it.”
