Back on November 29, 2024, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said that the Russian Federation remains committed to the entire set of agreements with Armenia and does not abandon its commitments to its allies in the military-political sphere. The diplomat recalled that Russia together with Armenia have been building security in the South Caucasus for years. He added that Moscow remains ready for a dialog with Yerevan on this topic.

Last November, it was also reported that Russia expects the Armenian partners to be involved in joint efforts to develop a system of equal and indivisible security on the Eurasian continent.
