/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Russian-Armenian relations fast develop almost
in all directions, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated at a joint
press conference with the Armenian leader in Yerevan today. In his
words, the opening of the Year of Russia in Armenia is the best proof
of it. «I very much count on all the 200 events planned to be held,»
V. Putin noted. In hi opinion, the number of these will be more, as
applications from new regions are being constantly received.
«Forthcoming is an important and significant event ~V the 60-th
anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, - he noted, -
and many events within the framework of the Year of Russia in Armenia
are dedicated just to that date. Our peoples fought with Nazism side
by side. We will mark this memorable date of our common history
together.» V. Putin also thanked the Armenian President for his
decision to arrive in Moscow on the eve of the celebration of the
60-th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War and to
take part in festivities on the occasion May 9. In his turn R.
Kocharian noted that it is necessary for the program to include
events on the occasion of the Year of Russia in Armenia for Armenian
citizens to get a full notion of today's Russia. Answering a question
to say that cultural links of the Armenian and Russian peoples become
an age-specific category, Putin noted that such a problem is
available and it is due to first of all contacts between the two
peoples being limited recently. «This is not so much of political,
but of economic nature: the decrease of the cooperation scope, that
of cultural exchange that are due to people experiencing more
difficulties in movement throughout the post-soviet space than within
a state. These questions are being constantly considered,» the
President noted and continued, «we constantly search for
opportunities to overcome these difficulties, the activities of all
unions in the post-soviet space aim at it.» In his words, special
attention should be paid to youth exchange and involvement of young
people in cooperation between the two countries. «I count for the
events within the framework of the Year of Russia in Armenia to
promote solution of this problem,» Putin noted. In his turn Kocharian
also noted the presence of the age-specific element in the
Armenian-Russian relations. In his opinion, the capacities of
contemporary information and telecommunication technologies can
actively be used in that sphere. He specially accentuated the
importance of Kultura Russian TV channel broadcasts in Armenia.
«Russian TV channels could have presented programs about former
soviet countries more frequently. It is a pity to lose what is gained
by so many generations,» Robert Kocharian emphasized.
