spheres with Moscow companies. The latest example of this is the
construction of the new building of the Yerevan mayor’s office.

relations. This is the result of active cooperation, especially in
the economic sphere, between Moscow and Yerevan.

purpose of my visit is of economic and cultural importance. I shall
meet the leadership of the country. We shall discuss serious
cooperation between Moscow and Armenia. After my last visit to your

between the two capitals for 2005-07 in various spheres, within the
framework of this year’s discussions and agreements.
