A paper's reporter asked Tsarukyan's press secretary Khachik Galstyan whether Putin will send a statement on the party's congress, and whether a representative of Russia’s ruling Edinaya Rossiya (United Russia) party is going to read it out. “I can’t say anything about Putin’s statement. I don’t know who exactly from Edinaya Rossiya will speak on the congress, but I'm sure they will come up with a statement,” the spokesman said. It’s worth mentioning that Russian President sent a note on the congress of the Republican Party of Armenia that took place on March 10, with Edinaya Rossiya member Arthur Chilingarov presenting it.
