    RUSSIA-ARMENIA RELATIONS ARE ON THE RISE, RUSSIAN MP SAYS


    MOSCOW, July 6 (RIA Novosti) - Russia-Armenia relations are on the
    rise, believes Andrei Kokoshin, chair of the CIS Affairs Committee in
    the State Duma, or the lower Russian parliamentary house.

    In a RIA interview after his meeting with Vardan Oskanyan Tuesday,
    Kokoshin said that the Armenian Foreign Minister's visit had
    demonstrated yet again that the two countries were steadily improving
    their relations, as befit strategic allies.

    "If all states of the region built their national security systems
    within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty, like Armenia
    does, peace would be much more durable here,'' the Russian MP argues.


    According to Kokoshin, his detailed talks with Oskanyan covered a
    whole number of issues relating to bilateral Russo-Armenian relations
    as well as international security issues of mutual concern, including
    the situation in the South Caucasus, economic cooperation, and
    Armenia's involvement in integration processes inside the
    Commonwealth of Independent States.

    Russia and Armenia stand close on issues concerning the threat of
    Georgia's internal conflicts spilling over to neighboring countries,
    Kokoshin said. He expressed hope that Russia and Armenia would
    continue to develop their economic and humanitarian cooperation.
