/PanARMENIAN.Net/ One of the priorities of Armenian foreign policy is
the development of military-political, trade-economic and humanitarian
relations with Russia. As says the annual report on Armenian foreign
activities in 2006, during the last year a number of reciprocal visits
of high ranking officials of the two countries were organized. The
conduction of the Year of Armenia in Russia in 2006 in many cases
contributed to the activation of bilateral relations, in the frameworks
of which took place a number of high level visits. During those visits
the Armenian and Russian sides discussed issues over developing
mutually beneficial cooperation in trade-economic, scientific and
technical and humanitarian aspects, the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement, the regional security and stability providing issues,
cooperation in the sphere of energy.

In Moscow during the 8th session of intergovernmental Russian-Armenian
commission on economic and scientific and technical cooperation
the sides discussed the ways to secure uninterrupted work for the
‘Kavkaz-Poti’ train-ferry, as well as the possibility to launch
‘Novorossisk-Poti’ car-ferry. Armenia, underlining the importance of
the above mentioned car ferry, hopes that in the near future it will
be launched fully and the repair works of Lars check point will be
finished as soon as possible.
