The allied relations between Armenia and Russia continue to develop sustainably for the benefit of our peoples, and cooperation in almost all areas of Armenian-Russian interaction is deepening and expanding. The centuries-old history of friendship and trust, the strong fraternal ties between our peoples, provide a solid foundation for constructive cooperation and mutual support not only at the bilateral level but also within the framework of international organizations and integration unions. I sincerely hope that in the near future our countries will be able to overcome the temporary difficulties associated with unprecedented global challenges and threats, and that we will be able to restore traditional close contacts.

This festive day reflects the millennial history of Russia's statehood, the country's rich spiritual and cultural heritage, and the consistent creative work aimed at the development and prosperity of the country, as well as strengthening its role in the international arena. The Armenian-Russian allied relations, based on the centuries-old friendship between our peoples, are reflected in international platforms and, in particular, in a constructive and mutually beneficial strategic partnership within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union. It is gratifying to note the steadily strengthening cooperation between our countries in trade, economics, energy, military-political, cultural, humanitarian, and other areas. I hope that in the near future the epidemiological situation in the world will stabilize, which will allow us to fully resume close ties for the implementation of new ideas and initiatives. I wish you, dear Mikhail Vladimirovich, good health, prosperity, and further success in your state activities, and to all the fraternal citizens of Russia, peace and prosperity."
