Question: What is Armenia's position on the signing of the Declaration on allied interaction between Russia and Azerbaijan.

Answer: The interstate allied cooperation established between Armenia and Russia, based on centuries-old friendship between our two peoples, is self-sufficient and is in no way conditioned by relations with a third country, unless the sides develop it at the expanse of the Armenian-Russian alliance. This is evidenced by history and the documents signed.

Yerevan and Moscow consistently undertake steps towards expanding relations in both bilateral and multilateral dimensions at different levels, including high and the highest, for the benefit of the development of our countries in the environment of guaranteed security.

We hope that The Declaration, signed on February 22, this year, in Moscow, will provide an additional opportunity to advance the implementation of the provisions of the three trilateral statements adopted by the leaders of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan, which may also contribute to a comprehensive settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict under the mandate of OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship.
