Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who arrived in Yerevan
yesterday evening, made a slip when speaking to the journalists in the
airport. In answer to the question whether he is going to discuss the
situation in Georgia with the Armenian leadership Sergey Lavrov said,
“Do you mean the situation after Zhvania’s killing?” and immediately
rectified, “After Zvania’s death?”

The Minister’s schedule for February 17 is rather tensed – besides
numerous formal meetings Sergey Lavrov will put a wreath to the
monument of the Armenian Genocide victims, meet with the teaching
staff of the Slavonic University and with journalists.

As for the issues to be discussed, it is known that the Russian FM
is expected to touch upon the issues regarding the transport and
fuel-energy field.
