“A very extensive conversation took place with the foreign minister of Armenia. We have discussed all the issues on bilateral relations, which continue developing steadily,” Karasin said.

“Predictability is very important. The two sides understand it very well. We need permanence, openness, understanding of ideas and intentions of one another. We have agreed to have frequent close contacts, coordination in international arenas as well. We are developing cooperation and will continue doing it in future as well,” the Russian deputy FM said.
