MOSCOW, October 30 (Itar-Tass) – Armenian President Robert Kocharyan
called on his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to work out mechanisms
on using contacts between the two countries during Year of Armenia
to Russia.

Kocharyan said, "During Year of Armenia to Russia we implemented
everything. In addition, we’ve been made interesting proposals from
regions. We’d like these contacts to be effective in the future. It
would be pity if they did not yield concrete results."

general, we maintain humanitarian contacts at the highest level,"
he said.
