MOSCOW, September 25 (Itar-Tass) - The continuity in the development
of Russian-Armenian relations will be preserved, including after the
presidential elections, due to take place in both countries in 2008,
Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov said here on Tuesday, opening the talks
with his Armenian counterpart Serge Sarkisyan.
"I believe this is our common task to develop allied relations,
primarily in the sphere of economy and in the humanitarian sphere,
as well as to consolidate the contractual basis of Russian-Armenian
relations," Zubkov said. According to his information, a number of
documents will be signed on the results of the Tuesday talks.
"Our relations - those of Russia and Armenia - are long-term and
friendly. There are some issues, which should be discussed, however.
It will be a long dialogue. We were getting prepared for the meeting,"
he continued.
Zubkov reminded that this year it would be 15 years since the
establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Last
August it was ten years since the signing of the Interstate Treaty
of Friendship and Cooperation, which is the basic document for the
development of bilateral relations. "The results of our cooperation
look encouraging, on the whole. The whole system of bilateral relations
is functioning well, and regular meetings of our presidents, as well
as their dialogue based on mutual trust, make our cooperation in all
spheres really effective," Zubkov stressed.
