Putin meets Armenian president - Kremlin text
Vladimir Putin and President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan discussed
pressing issues of bilateral cooperation.
PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA VLADIMIR PUTIN: Mr Sargsyan, welcome to Moscow and
thank you for coming here on the eve of 9 May. Congratulations once
again to you and to the people of Armenia on the coming Victory Day.
Since my visit to Armenia, a great deal has been done to implement the
agreements we reached then. I am happy to have the opportunity to
compare notes today, to see what else needs to be done and in what
areas we should speed up our efforts.
In any case, I am happy to say that Russia remains Armenia's leading
trade and economic partner, and last year our trade went up by 11 per
cent compared to 2012 (10.6 per cent). This year we are maintaining
the growth rate, and Russia has retained its position as the leading
investor in Armenia's economy.
I am very happy to see you. Welcome once again.
PRESIDENT OF ARMENIA SERZH SARGSYAN: Thank you, Mr Putin. Allow me to
thank you for your invitation to visit Moscow within the framework of
the CSTO summit meeting, for this opportunity to discuss with you the
pressing issues in our relations. Once again, I would like to
congratulate you and the people of Russia on the Great Victory.
I am happy that Russian-Armenian strategic relations and our
partnership are developing dynamically. We will continue to make every
effort to further expand these relations.
The agreements reached during your state visit and during our meeting
in Moscow on 3 September have undoubtedly enriched our agenda. The
implementation of these agreements will undoubtedly create new
opportunities for close cooperation in all spheres: in foreign policy,
in military technology and the economy.
We are prepared to work actively. I believe this is in line with the
historical traditions of friendship between our nations and our
people's will.
I am happy to be in Moscow today. Thank you for the invitation and for
the conversation we had. Thank you.
