    Southern regions of Russia and the independent Caucasian states "need
    full-scale and mutually advantageous integration in the interests of
    the expansion of economic relations," Chairman of the Federation
    Council Sergei Mironov said on Wednesday at the opening of a regular
    meeting of the Russian-Armenian cooperation commission, formed by the
    upper chamber of the Russian parliament and the Armenian National
    Assembly.

    Russia and Armenia are "a sort of supporting pillars of a new stage
    of the integration process," Mironov continued. An intensive
    political dialogue has been going on between Moscow and Yerevan over
    the past several years.

    "We have entered a period, in which regional integration plays an
    important role. It depends a great deal on the development of a
    political situation in Europe and on the American continent," Mironov
    said.

    He stressed that "the work of the interparliamentary commission is
    characterised by pragmatism and constructive approach to the problems
    it tackles." The unification of national legislations, which makes it
    possible to settle legal, economic and administrative problems, is
    its most important goal.

    Vaan Ovanesyan, Armenian co-chairman of the interparliamentary
    commission, pointed to a special importance of the consultations in
    conditions of the worsening of the situation in the Caucasus.
