His Holiness’ visit to Armenia will bring also a message of peace to the whole region of South Caucasus still suffering from deadly military provocations by Azerbaijan and anti-Armenian hate and intolerance dominating in that country. While Presidents of Armenia and Russia, are trying to deliver the opinion of the international community and explaining President Aliev right now in Saint-Petersburg that war is an option for Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, I hope that the ordinary people of Azerbaijan, including our beautiful colleague Pashaeva, will keep their ears open to the voice of Pope Francis and millions of faithful human beings in Armenia praying for peace, hope and love in the coming days to listen a simple message that ‘darkness cannot drive out darkness and hate cannot drive out hate.’
During the meeting with Putin Serzh Sargsyan particularly thanked the Russian side for mediative efforts in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and confirmed, that Armenia hopes to settle NK conflict excusively through peaceful means.
“ Aram Ateshian had a classmate—Manuel Yerkatian, they became deacons together.

“If we observe its structure, USD 130 million of that amount belongs to export from Armenia. Mainly industrial production is being exported.

Under these conditions countries which appeared under the influence of Russia, including Armenia, have two options: they may either continue to indifferently and passively wait for Russia’s destiny, or initiate something not to appear under the ruins of Russia. What is Armenia going to do?

“As you know, we released a publication, that RF Foreign Minister is having meetings with Ambassadors on NK conflict and the possibility of organizing a meeting, in particular, with the Ambassadors of the states, who are the Co-chairs, thus, we provide information to the society on those meetings, i.e. besides the fact, that we share information with our foreign partners frequently, in a multi-format, and we inform the society to the extent, which is possible and necessary.”
“I ask you to pray for me, who in a few days will go as a pilgrim to an eastern land, Armenia, the first among the Nations to receive the Gospel of Jesus,” he said at an audience for the Reunion of Aid Agencies For the Eastern Churches.
“If aggression is recorded against Armenia or Russia, then it doesn’t function. For instance, Russia declares war to Ukraine, in this case we don’t implement operations there, as it’s not aggression against Russia. If we also launch war, then we don’t have any limitations upon this document. If it’s an aggression from Azerbaijan, then united system is functioning. It doesn’t function in Karabakh, however, we can move our military means to Karabakh, which we’ll do.”
“You are familiarized with our disposition, it’s not subject to any political conjuncture. We have showed it throughout many years.

I think, mutual respect is the guarantee for our relations and cooperation to continue for centuries,” highlighted Maria Zakharova, official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russian Federation.
