Speaker of the Russian State Duma lower house of parliament Boris
Gryzlov arrived Tuesday in the Armenian capital on a three-day
official visit.
On Wednesday, he will meet with President Robert Kocharyan and Prime
Minister Andranik Margaryan. A meeting with the leadership of the
National Assembly (parliament) is also on the schedule of the Duma
speaker.
The talks will center on bilateral ties and cooperation between
parliamentarians of the two countries.
“Of course in our talks we will not deprive of our attention the
situation in Ukraine on the eve of the next round of presidential
elections,” Gryzlov said.
