    2 December 2013 - 8:23pm

    A press conference of the heads of Russia and Armenia took place in
    Yerevan as a result of today's meeting between the two presidents.

    Economic cooperation between Russia and Armenia was the main theme
    of the meeting. President Serzh Sargsyan once again affirmed the
    country's intention to take steps to join the Customs Union and the
    Common Economic Space soon.

    In response, Vladimir Putin said that Moscow was prepared to provide
    all possible assistance to Yerevan in this process.

    Vladimir Putin also spoke of the decision to cancel the 35% duty
    on oil supplies to Armenia, to sell gas at $189 per thousand cubic
    meters and export weapons at Russian prices.

    In addition, he noted that in the first nine months of this year
    trade between the two countries amounted to about $1 billion.

    Vladimir Putin also stressed that Armenia is one of the main economic
    partners of Russia.

    The presidents also talked about humanitarian projects and about
    opening a branch of Moscow State University in Yerevan.

    The presidents also discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Vladimir
    Putin stressed the importance of the political-legal field for the
    resolution of the conflict. However, he refused to talk about the
    possible actions of Russia in case Azerbaijan attempts to attack
    Armenia. He said that it is "counter-productive" to talk about it.

    He also welcomed the resumption of negotiations between Armenia and
    Azerbaijan and stressed that Russia will make every effort to achieve
    a peaceful settlement of the conflict within the framework of OSCE
    Minsk Group.

    Shortly before the press conference, the parties signed a number of
    documents including those on the gas supplies, creation of a joint
    oil venture, etc.
