"Armenia and Russia are close friends and for that reason it is very
important for Russia to know what will be here in Armenia, how the
things will be arranged," said Georgi Karasin, the deputy foreign
affairs minister of Russia.

"During my visits many questions were discussed and the sides mentioned
that the relations in the country are being rapidly developed in
politics, economy and in humanitarian fields," he said.

According to Karasin the post election period in the country and
the announcements of the Armenia opposition were also the subject of
their discussion.

"We guess that the only way through the problem is dialogue. I
could feel that Robert Kocharyan as well as Serzh Sargsyan are quite
conscious of the situation and they manage to supervise it," said
Karasin and added that Russia will contribute to the regulation of
the situation.
