    Armenian-Russian cooperation and the fight against international
    terrorism were discussed today at a meeting between Armenian Speaker
    Artur Bagdasaryan and Russian Federation Council Speaker Sergey
    Mironov who is on an official visit to Yerevan.

    Speaking about tightened security measures on the Russian-Georgian
    border in the wake of the terrorist act in Beslan, as a result of
    which cargo transportation to Armenia has been halted and the country
    has in fact found itself in a blockade, the sides stressed the need
    for the speedy opening of a road to transport cargo to Armenia.

    For his part, noting the anti-terror campaign against foreigners in
    Russia, the deputy speaker of the Armenian parliament and the chairman
    of the Armenian-Russian interparliamentary commission on cooperation,
    Vaan Ovanesyan, underlined the need for granting Armenians of Russia
    temporary status to ensure their security.

    At the end of the meeting, Mironov and Bagdasaryan signed a joint
    statement offering condolences to the families of the victims of the
    terrorist acts in Russia and expressing the readiness to fight
    international terrorism hand in hand.

    The statement also called on the deputies of the CIS countries to
    consolidate their efforts in the fight against terrorism.
