    PUTIN TO JOIN EVENTS MARKING CENTENARY OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE DURING VISIT TO YEREVAN - STATE DUMA SPEAKER

    YEREVAN. March 30

    President Vladimir Putin will join events in Yerevan commemorating
    the centenary of the Armenian Genocide, while the Russian State Duma
    will make a statement in connection with this date, State Duma Speaker
    Sergei Naryshkin said.

    "President Vladimir Putin's upcoming visit and attendance of the
    events commemorating the centenary of the Armenian Genocide in the
    Ottoman Empire will definitely give a fresh impetus to our contacts,"
    Naryshkin told Armenian lawmakers in Yerevan on Monday.

    He said the State Duma will "express its attitude to this historical
    event" in a statement.

    Russian-Armenian relations have been broadening dynamically in the
    political, economic, military and humanitarian spheres, he said.

    On January 2 Armenia became a fully-fledged member of the Eurasian
    Economic Union, which is an event of great importance, he said. "We
    live in a new reality, when Russia and Armenia are building a new
    and promising integration format," Naryshkin said.

    Kremlin spokesman earlier said that Putin could visit Armenia during
    celebrations of the centenary of the Armenian Genocide.

    "President Vladimir Putin's visit to Yerevan is on the agenda. The
    visit is being prepared and discussed. We will make an announcement the
    moment the exact date is set and confirmed," Peskov told journalists
    on March 19.

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsian earlier said that Putin's visit
    was likely.
