According to Lavrov, “it is the sustainable and systematic development of Russian-Armenian ties that meets the fundamental interests of the peoples of the two states, which have common values and a single cultural code.” “Trade and economic ties and industry dialogue are developing at an impressive pace between Moscow and Yerevan. This is the foundation for relations between the two countries, as well as the most important boost for the sustainability of the Armenian economy and the well-being of the population of Armenia,” Lavrov said. He emphasized that the rapid growth of Armenia’s GDP in recent years “is largely due to cooperation with Russia and Yerevan’s membership in the Eurasian Economic Union.” “Next year Armenia will chair the EAEU.
