The Russian minister has already been received by Armenian President

their 21st anniversary.
"Relations between our countries are very warm. The heads of our
states set an example for us to follow. And we should live up to this
level," Shoigu said. "I have many friends here and I am glad to be
here."
"Serzh Sargsyan warmly greeted the Russian defence minister and

minister who had done so much for Armenia after earthquakes in his
previous position," she said.

his Armenian counterpart Seyran Ohanyan. After the talks he will head
to Armenia's second largest city of Gyumri where Russia's 102nd
