The Armenian delegation headed by Prime Minister Tigran Sarkissian
left for Minsk yesterday evening to participate in the sitting of
the CIS Council of Heads of Government.
Preceding the sitting the Armenian Premier had a meeting with his
Georgian counterpart Lado Gurgenidze.
The parties spoke about the current programmes of cooperation and the
existing problems. Assessing the cooperation in the energy sphere
as rather productive, the interlocutors attached importance to the
intensification of mutual investments in the financial-banking and
other spheres, as well as the collaboration within the framework of
regional programs.
Seizing the opportunity Tigran Sarkissian presented the problems of
the Armenian side and asked Gurgenidze for advice, reports the press
service of the RoA Government.
He mainly referred to high tariffs levied on the Armenian transits
by the Georgian side and the violations and provocations of Georgian
religious and temporal radicals against Armenian churches.
Lado Gurgenidze condemned all extreme approaches and provocations
and promised to intervene after a thorough study of the matter.
