ArmInfo. Russian Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Volynkin has congratulated Armenia on the 25th anniversary of Independence.
"Dear citizens of Armenia! Dear friends! Let me sincerely congratulate you on the 25th anniversary of Armenia's Independence. Over that period, the republic has passed a hard way of development and state building, and has also experienced difficult moments of its history. Today, in Armenia we see a dynamically developing democratic state, which has a unique and distinctive character, a state that is Russia's friend and ally. Certainly, not all the obstacles can be removed at once. It is natural for any state to achieve its goals and resolve emerging problems. Armenia faces important tasks in the field of state building, economic and social development. I am sure all of them will be resolved. Armenia's EEU membership provides a huge range of opportunities for that. Russia that has supported Armenia for all these years will keep contributing to the development of the Republic and its security. Let me once again congratulate you on the Independence Day and wish peace, welfare and prosperity to the Armenian people," Ambassador Volynkin says in his congratulatory message sent to ArmInfo.
