ArmInfo. "Armenian-Russian bilateral relations are developing on the
basis of allied cooperation and strategic partnership. They are
deepening day by day. Our countries are effectively cooperating in the
multilateral format at the CSTO and CIS as well as at other regional
and international organizations, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan
says in an interview with RIA Novosti.

S. Sargsyan says that together with President Medvedev they have an
active dialogue and regular meetings. "The Intergovernmental
Commission for Economic Cooperation is operating effectively. Our
countries are cooperating almost in all spheres. I’d like to outline
cooperation in the humanitarian sphere. Our countries are connected
with numerous threads in the spheres of culture, science and
education," the president says.

The president highlighted that the Russian business is widely present
in the economic life of Armenia.

Although the global crisis has certainly affected the Armenian-Russian
trade and economic relations, but the two countries will rapidly make
up for lost time, the president says. "We will work in this area and
take effective measures within nearest future," Serzh Sargsyan says.

The president points out that Glory Hill in Gyumri, the Monument for
the Russian officers killed in the Russo-Turkish wars is currently
being restored. In addition, the corner stone of a new Russian Church
in Armenia was laid during the recent visit by Patriarch Kirill of
Moscow and All Russia.
