We hope very much that all investigation procedures will be completed as soon as possible and those guilty will be punished in accordance to the law, Edward Nalbandian, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia, said at a press-conference after 15th meeting of Armenia-EU Cooperation Council (Brussels) on Tuesday when asked to comment on the recent tragedy in Gyumri, when a Russian soldier killed a whole family.
"Of course, this horrible crime created a lot of natural human anger and emotions in Armenia's public opinion. Concerning the question on our relations with Russia: We have strong, allied, strategic relations with Russia and we will continue to strengthen and enhance them further with joint efforts," Nalbandyan said.
