ArmInfo. Russia is  interested in a strong and independent partner in the person of  Armenia. Russian Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Volynkin stated this at a  solemn reception on the occasion of the Day of National Unity.

"All these my words fully apply to the colleagues from Belarus,  Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan who are present here, only together and  together we will be able to withstand the emerging challenges of a  global and regional scale." I am confident that, following in the  course of close interaction and mutual assistance, we will ensure the  stable development and prosperity of our countries, "the Russian  Ambassador said.

Talking about the holiday, Volynkin noted that the Day of National  Unity is inextricably linked with the glorious heroic pages of  Russian history, and its appearance correlates with the time of the  most difficult trials that hit Russia in the early 17th century. "The  Day of National Unity symbolizes the idea of national harmony and  cohesion around common goals and tasks." Unselfish devotion to the  Motherland and a sense of responsibility have always served as the  basis for the independence of our country, and patriotism and love  for the Fatherland for centuries were held together by multinational  peoples. "Thus, during the Troubled Times, during the Patriotic War  1812, in the First World War and the Great Patriotic War.This will  always happen! The realities of the modern world form the need for  consolidation not only at the domestic level, but also between The  education of children and youth in the spirit of patriotism and love  for the historical homeland, the strengthening of spiritual, moral  orientations and traditional values in society are the foundations of  any modern state that can effectively repulse attempts to impose  alien, unnatural values, undermine the age-old foundations, to fix  unnecessary and even harmful messages at the legislative level. This  tactic is aimed at quarrelling neighbors, destabilize the internal  political situation, "fool and swat to err "the population," he said.

In this regard, according to Volynkin, great responsibility lies with  the media. According to him, every journalist, editor-in-chief or  political scientist should not only earn money, ratings on  sensational materials and "hot" news, but also be aware of the  consequences, realize their responsibility to society. "Religious  institutions can and should have a positive impact on improving  intercultural, intercivilizational dialogue, and the role of civil  society, which should fully bear its share of responsibility for  maintaining stability and peace in the state, is traditionally  present. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you  for the attention you pay to Russia, the Russian language. Russian  culture greatly appreciate your efforts to preserve the single  information and cultural space, your contribution to the development  of Armenian- Russian cultural ties ", - concluded the Ambassador of  Russia.
