    PUTIN VISITING ARMENIA

    Democracy & Freedom Watch
    Dec 2 2013

    by DFWatch staff | Dec 2, 2013

    TBILISI, DFWatch-Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Yerevan
    today for the first time in five years.

    Russian media report that during his visit, Putin will meet with his
    Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan.

    There will also be held a Russia-Armenia regional forum, and the
    Russian leader will visit the Russian military base in Gyumri. He is
    also expected to sign a number of important documents.

    Armenia announced September 3 that it would join the Eurasian Customs
    Union, a proposed free trade bloc of former Soviet republics which
    Putin has advocated for. EU's foreign policy spokesperson Catherine
    Ashton has said for Armenia to join the Customs Union would be
    incompatible with the country getting a Deep and Comprehensive Free
    Trade Agreement with the EU.

    The last time Putin visited Yerevan was in 2008.
