"It is the absolute sovereign right of our Armenian friends. It is the sovereign right of Armenia to develop relations in all directions. We [i.e. Russia] proceed from the main as before. We have bilateral relations with Armenia, we value those relations dearly, we intend to develop them from now on as well," the Kremlin spokesperson said.
