    YEREVAN, October 1 (Noyan Tapan). On October 1 - the first day of its
    visit - the delegation headed by Sergei Mironov, Chairman of the
    Federation Council of the RF Federal Assembly, had a private talk with
    the RA NA Assembly Artur Baghdasarian and then met with Chairmen of
    the RA standing committees, as well as leaders and members of the
    factions. According to the NA PR Department, the meeting participants
    condemned terrorism. It was noted that a commission was set up in the
    RF Federal Assembly to investigate the facts of Beslan's terrorism
    becoming possible and its consequences in order to make an overall
    analysis of what happened and to present the results to the
    public. Addressing the strategic cooperation between the two
    countries, the RA NA Chairman Artur Baghdasarian attached much
    importance to the conference of the Armenian and Russian busissmen
    organized under the aegis of the parliaments of the two countries in
    Samara, as well as to the presentation of Armenia and the effective
    work of the Armenian pavilion at the 8th Economic Forum in Saint
    Petersburg. Inter-regional cooperation agreements were signed as a
    result of the two conferences. The cooperation of the two parliaments
    in the CIS Interparliamentaru Assembly and in international structures
    was also mentioned as important. Special importance was attached to
    the work of the Commission on Interparliamentary Cooperation whose
    next session will be held in Moscow. In covering the
    interparliamentary and trade and economic cooperation issues Sergei
    Mironov attached significance to further developmewnt of the stratigic
    cooperation. Speaking about the Armenian trucks accumulation as a
    result of the strict measures introduced at the check point of the RF-
    Georgia State Border after the terrorist act and Armenia's factual
    blockade, the sides considered it important to ensure security, as
    well as to open this land route for Armenia as quickly as possible,
    taking into account that another road connecting Aemenia to the big
    world is almost impassible, and difficulties may arise with the
    approach of winter. Vahan Hovannisian, Armenian Co-chairman of the
    RA-RF Interparliamentary Cooperation Commission and Vice Chairman of
    the RA NA, also touched upon the strict measurs being taken in Russia
    after the terrorism with respect to the Armenians who are not citizens
    of the RF but live and work there. He suggested to solve the problem
    by granting a temporary status to them, which will guarantee their
    security. At the end of the meeting Artur Baghdasarian and Sergei
    Mironov signrd a joint statement in which the heads of the RA National
    Assembly and the Federation Council of the RF Federal Assembly express
    their deep codonlence over the victims of the terrorist acts in the RF
    in August-September 2004, as well as their determination to carry on a
    struggle against the international terrorism, condemning the cruel and
    barbaric actions of the terrorists incompatible with humanity and
    morality. An agreement was reached to continue developing further the
    Armenian-Russian trade, economic, scientific, cultural, military and
    industrial relations. Towards the end of the meeting at the
    instructions of the RA NA Chairman Artur Baghdasarian, the Chairman of
    the Federation Council of the RF FA Sergei Mironov was awarded a medal
