ArmInfo. The issues of international and regional agenda, which are
still relevant today, were discussed over today’s meeting between
President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan and President of Russia Dmitriy
Medvedev in the "Gorki" residence of the Russian president.
As press-service of the Kremlin reported, on the eve of the meeting
Dmitriy Medvedev said that the heads of the two state meet today to
discuss the current situation, the bilateral relations, regional and
international problems.
For his part, Serzh Sargsyan expressed gratitude for invitation and
said that after the last meeting the Armenia foreign policy and other
departments and inter-governmental commissions continued working
intensively. ‘I would like to meet you to discuss the problems of
our bilateral relations, regional security, the present state of
the Armenian-Turkish process and, of course the Nagornyy Karabakh
conflict’, – Sargsyan said.
The Head of the Armenian State congratulated D.Medvedev on the opening
of an innovation center in Yerevan. "This is a very good step. I want
to mention that the Armenian Government and the Russian Embassy in
Armenia are intensively working at restoration of the memorial complex
dedicated to Russian officers, who died over the Armenian-Turkish
war",- he said.
Serzh Sargsyan once again thanked his Russian counterpart for the
500 mln USD loan allocated a year ago. "Why am I back on this topic?
Because it is now that we have started receiving a positive effect
from this loan. Over the first quarter we had 5.5% growth in the
gross product. I think we’ll keep on restoring what we lost",- Serzh
Sargsyan concluded.
