"Hraparak" newspaper writes: "It seems that there is a need for a restart in Armenia-Russia relations, and the parties, realizing this, decided to take some steps. The first of these is the change of ambassadors.
Moreover, the Russian side is so dissatisfied with the RA ambassador in Russia that it will be resolved as a priority. The question of replacing Vagharshak Harutyunyan has been discussed for a long time, but there was a problem of finding ambassador candidates. A candidate who will enjoy the trust of Nikol Pashinyan and will be acceptable to the Russian authorities.
According to our information, a number of candidates have been discussed. And the Armenian side seems to have stood on the NA deputy Gurgen Arsenyan. According to the information we have received, the candidate for the Russian ambassador is a high-ranking official of the Russian Foreign Ministry, which also indicates that Russia understands the importance of cooperation with Armenia."
