    President of Armenia, President of the Chess Federation of Armenia,
    Serzh Sargsyan received the President of the International Chess
    Federation, President of Kalmikia Kirsan Ilyumzhinov and his
    delegation.

    Serzh Sargsyan noted with appreciation that every visit of the
    President of the World Chess Federation to our country marks the
    start of a new program.

    He said it's high time to call to life the agreements reached during
    the 38th World Chess Olympics in Dresden.

    Kirsan Ilyumzhinov once again congratulated President Sargsyan on the
    brilliant victory of the Armenian team in the Dresden Olympics and
    added: "Achieving champion's title is difficult, but keeping it for the
    second consecutive time is twice as hard. It evidences that an acting
    system has been established." He welcomed the efforts of the Armenian
    authorities targeted at the development of chess in the country, noting
    that "there are serious results, when there is serious attention."

    President of the world Chess Federation presented the steps FIDE
    takes in the direction of development and popularization of chess. In
    this context the interlocutors discussed the idea of building a Chess
    Palace in Yerevan, which was generally approved. Reference was made
    to the preparation of the international Grand Prix championship to
    be held in Yerevan in August.
