    PUTIN ARRIVES IN ARMENIA TO DISCUSS TRADE, ECONOMY, CULTURE AND HUMANITARIAN AID WITH ARMENIAN PRESIDENT

    Voice of Russia
    Dec 2 2013

    Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday is arriving in Armenia on
    a state visit. Central streets and squares of the country's capital
    Yerevan are decorated with state tricoloured flags of the two countries
    that maintain allied relations.

    Russia and Armenia are currently tied by close co-operation in the
    political, economic, military and humanitarian spheres.

    "The volume, depth and level of allied strategic interaction between
    Armenia and Russia speak for themselves, but we can and should achieve
    more," Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said.

    According to him, "such an intensive political dialogue is natural
    between countries-allies."

    "Armenia and Russia have signed more than 200 treaties and agreements,
    the bilateral regulatory framework is being permanently improved,"
    the minister said. "In terms of the trade-economic relations Russia
    is our number one partner, half of the total foreign investment in
    Armenia is made by Russia."

    "More than 1,300 enterprises with Russian capital work in our country,"
    Nalbandian said. "Economic relations in such spheres as communications,
    transport, energy, including nuclear energy, information technology,
    the mining industry, agriculture are successfully developing."

    "The intergovernmental commission for economic co-operation, the
    military-technical co-operation commission, inter-parliamentary
    commission are working effectively," the minister said.

    "We pay considerable attention to the development of interregional
    contacts: all Armenian regions and more than 70 subjects of the
    Russian Federation are involved in this work," Nalbandian stressed.

    The humanitarian relations are on the rise.

    "We intend to continue to exert efforts aimed at further raising
    efficiency of foreign political coordination," Nalbandian said. "We
    seek to continue fruitful cooperation within the framework of
    international organisations based on respect for mutual interests."

    Yerevan has great expectations of the country's participation in
    Eurasian integration. "Armenia is linked with the Customs Union
    countries by thousands of threads, one-third of our exports go to
    Russia," Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said at a plenary meeting
    on the parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in
    Strasbourg on October 2.

    Putin to pay State visit to Armenia

    Russian President Vladimir Putin will pay a State visit to Armenia
    on Monday, the Kremlin press service reported.

    "The tour will begin with the city of Gyumri where Putin together
    with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan will visit Russian Military
    Base 102, and attend a 3rd Russo-Armenian interregional forum,"
    a press service official pointed out.

    Then Russia-Armenia talks at summit level will be held in Yerevan.

    The agenda includes key items concerning bilateral cooperation,
    including that in trade-and-economic, cultural-and-humanitarian fields.

    "The sides are expected to exchange views on the implementation of
    accords reached as a result of Sargsyan's visit to Moscow on September
    3, as well as discuss further steps towards Armenia's accession to the
    Customs Union and the Common Economic Space of Belarus, Kazakhstan,
    and Russia," a Kremlin source pointed out.

    A number of joint documents are to be signed as a result of the talks.
