NOVO-OGARYOVO, May 14 (Itar-Tass) – President Vladimir Putin said he
was satisfied with the economic interaction with Armenia, but that
he believed that the two countries could work more effectively.

“It’s not just hard work, it’s also effective, being reflected in
growing economic interaction, with bilateral trade increasing 34
percent last year,” Putin said at a meeting with Armenian leader
Robert Kocharyan on Friday.

In his view however, Moscow and Yerevan “have many opportunities to
work better and more effectively.”
