Russia has never initiated the cooling of relations with Armenia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the annual press conference, Report informs.

"We remember that while many of the Armenian officials were still in the opposition, during various political processes and election campaigns, they called to leave the CSTO and the Eurasian Economic Union. When the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, came to power, there was not the slightest impulse in our relations to move away from Yerevan in any way. Everything has developed as it was during the time of his predecessor," the Russian Foreign Minister stressed.
