Presidents of Armenia and Russia Serzh Sargsyan and Dmitry Medvedev met
at the Russian leader’s residence outside Moscow to discuss bilateral
relations and the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Sargsyan noted that this was his first international visit in 2010.

"This is the right time that allows us to review our work to strengthen
Armenian-Russian relations in 2009 and map out new plans for 2010,"
he said.

He said both economic and humanitarian relations had been intensified
last year. "I think there are grounds for achieving more in 2010. I
think we should do everything we can to make serious achievements in
our relations every year," the Armenian leader said.

He thanked Medvedev for help in strengthening peace in the region. "I
thank you and Russia for supporting our initiatives to strengthen peace
and security in our region. We want to solve all issues peacefully
and on that we are not only strategic allies but we probably think
alike," Sargsyan said.

"Absolutely so," Medvedev replied.

The Russian president said political contacts between the two countries
were developing quite actively: six or seven top-level meetings were
held in 2008 and 2009.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
