/PanARMENIAN.Net/ An agreement on Russian Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov’s visit to Yerevan was achieved six weeks ago.

"It’s a scheduled visit and has nothing to do with the visit of
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Moscow," Mr. Lavrov
said when commenting on the hearsay on coincidence of his visit to
Yerevan with Erdogan’s visit to Moscow.

"We agreed on my visit to Yerevan six weeks ago while Turkish PM
decided to visit Moscow just several days ago. So, you might just
as well link my visit to any other event in any spot on the globe,"
he said.

Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbanidan for his part confirmed
that Sergei Lavrov was invited to Armenia during the OSCE Ministerial
Council in Athens in December 2009.
