    PRESIDENTS OF RUSSIA AND ARMENIA DISCUSSED REGIONAL PROBLEMS
    President of Armenia, Serj Sargsjan, made his first visit to Moscow
    after election and inauguration and met with President of Russia,
    Dmitry Medvedev.

    "Russian-Armenian cooperation, close in the first place, is becoming
    even closer," Medvedev said when the talks were over. He referred to
    the growing trade turnover that was already approaching $1 billion.

    Russia is the principal investor in the Armenian economy. The sum
    total of investments has already exceeded $1.2 billion.

    The agendas of the Russian-Armenian talks always include international
    issues. Granted that all problems on the agenda concern the
    Commonwealth alone, but even they are numerous. The Nagorno-Karabakh
    situation is one of them.

    "The priorities of Russia have remained unchanged. We are convinced
    that all crises in the Caucasus should be resolved by peaceful
    means only, within the framework of the existing formats and in
    line with the international law and practice," Medvedev said. The
    two presidents discussed ways and means of intensification of the
    Azerbaijani-Armenian talks.

    Moscow reiterated its readiness to advance cooperation with Yerevan
    within the framework of the CIS and CIS Collective Security Treaty
    Organization (Armenia is about to assume chairmanship in the latter).

    "The president of the Russian Federation and I discussed the whole
    range of bilateral issues as well as international and regional
    cooperation," Sargsjan said. "We reiterated readiness to advance the
    Commonwealth for maximum efficiency of integration within it."

    Sargsjan thanked Medvedev for the warm reception and invited him
    to Yerevan.
