MOSCOW, March 23 — Ara Abramyan, the president of the Union of
Armenians in Russia, believes “Yerevan and Moscow have very close
and warm relations in the political and military areas.”

He expressed the hope that much attention would be given to economic
matters when Russian President Vladimir Putin is on a working visit
in Armenia on March 24-25.

Abramyan believes Armenia could also state its viewpoint on the
problems of Russo-Georgian relations. “It is necessary to create a
balance of forces in the Caucasus. If Russia and Georgia have good
relations, this will also be beneficial for Armenia,” he said.
