    Armenian President Robert Kocharyan met Russian Federation Council
    Speaker Sergey Mironov today.

    Arminfo news agency learnt from the Armenian presidential press
    service that Kocharyan had spoken highly about Armenian-Russian
    strategic partnership developing rather efficiently and dynamically.

    Having described his talks in Armenia as useful, Mironov said that the
    talks were focused on fighting terrorism and a special statement was
    adopted. The statement calls for consolidating efforts of civil
    society to fight this evil.

    Kocharyan said that the current stage of Armenian-Russian relations
    was characterized by deepening mutually beneficial economic
    cooperation. He added that economy must become the basis of the
    bilateral relations and spoke about the importance of intensifying the
    activity of the Armenian-Russian intergovernment commission for
    economic cooperation.

    Mironov said that the Russian members of the commission were expected
    to visit Armenia in a few days to discuss all topical issues of
    economic cooperation.

    The sides also discussed a need for expanding direct ties and
    cooperation between administrative regions of Armenia and Russia. They
    spoke about the importance of cooperation between MPs within the
    framework of various international organizations.

    The meeting also discussed the closure of the Russian-Georgian border
    that caused a number of serious problems for Armenia in terms of cargo
    and passenger transportation.
