Meeting members of the government on Thursday, Sarkisyan said,
"The dialogue with Russia’s new government was positive."
The prime minister informed government members about the results
of his first official visit to Russia that ended on Wednesday, the
government press service told Itar-Tass on Thursday.
The prime minister instructed the ministers to continue close
cooperation with their Russian colleagues and "establish contacts
with new Russian ministers".
In compliance with the Russian-Armenian agreements, trade turnover
"should exceed one billion U.S. dollars next year". "It is necessary
to work in this direction," Sarkisyan stressed.
