/PanARMENIAN.Net/ RA National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosian met
with Russian Prime Minister Victor Zubkov.

Assessing highly the Armenian-Russian cooperation, Mr Torosian said,
"Relations with Russia are very important. South Caucasus is a region
experiencing political and economic problems. It’s the region of
conflicts. Time has proved that cooperation with Russia contributes
to peace, stability and development of the region. Forthcoming
presidential elections in both states will offer new opportunities
for efficient cooperation."

For his part, Mr Zubkov said he discussed commodity turnover, energy
cooperation, railway communication and some other issues with the
President and Prime Minister of Armenia.

"I am impressed with Armenia’s economic growth," he said stressing
the importance of interparliamentary cooperation between Armenia and
Russia, the RA NA press office reported.
