Sagsyan, Medvedev inaugurate Square of Russia in Yerevan
Inauguration of Square of Russia in Yerevan is a joyful and outstanding event, proving the sincerity and durability of relations between the two states, Russia's President said today.
"I am glad to be in Armenia again and meet its hospitable people. Russia accepted with pleasure the decision of the Yerevan city council to name a square after Russia as a token of attention and friendship," Dmitry Medvedev said. "We should combat global challenges jointly. Good neighbors are always glad to watch each other's achievements. We want to see a strong and sustainably developing Armenia. Our progress is a guarantee of our strategic partnership."
For his part, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan stated, "Armenian and Russian flags in Square of Russia in Yerevan remind of indissoluble ties between our nations. These are symbols of solidarity and historical and cultural heritage. Here, on October 26, 1828, General Paskevich hoisted a Russian flag over the fortress of Erivan. Down the street, there was a house where Griboyedov's Wit Works Woe was first staged."
