    On 1 October in Yerevan, Armenian Speaker Artur Bagdasaryan and
    Russian Federation Council Speaker Sergey Mironov discussed the
    transport situation that has lately come about on the Russian-Georgian
    border.

    "Armenian friends have taken Russia's measures with understanding,"
    Mironov told a briefing following the meeting, adding that "the sides
    should tackle this task taking into account the interests of Armenia,
    which is Russia's strategic partner in the Caucasus".

    "We need to resolve this situation in a way that will not affect the
    transport problems of Armenia," Mironov said. There are still Chechen
    fighters in Georgia's Pankisi Gorge, which was also proved by [Chechen
    rebel president] Aslan Maskhadov in his interview to Georgian TV.

    speakers]
