MOSCOW, JANUARY 19, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan had
a tete-a-tete conversation with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev after
the international conference on gas problems held in Moscow. The RF
President thanked his counterpart for accepting the invitation and
taking part in the conference. The Presidents highly estimated the
relations of the two countries characterizing them as reliable and
equal to Armenian-Russian strategic cooperation.
The RF President noted that Armenian-Russian allied relations are
much more convenient than the complicated problems discussed during
the international conference preceding the private talk. S. Sargsyan,
in his turn, attached importance to cooperation with Russia and Gazprom
company in the energy sphere estimating it as reliable and based on
long-term interests. He emphasized that gas consumption volumes have
been increased three-fold in the past years in Armenia and by the
gas supply level Armenia takes a leading position not only in the
CIS territory, but also in the whole world.
As Noyan Tapan was informed by the RA President’s Press Office,
S. Sargsyan and D. Medvedev held the same opinion that frequent
high-level contacts and meetings give a possibility to touch upon
and to give solutions even to the smallest problems.
