Armenian President Robert Kocharyan met Oleg Dobrodeyev, the head of
the All-Russian State Television and Radio Company [VGTRK], in Yerevan
today.

The sides focused on Armenian-Russian cultural cooperation, adding
that it can be further complemented with joint TV projects, the
presidential press service told Mediamax today.

Robert Kocharyan said that the transmission of Russia’s Kultura
television channel to Armenia makes it possible to not only sustain
the traditional cultural ties with Russia but also to provide an
opportunity for their expansion.

Oleg Dobrodeyev said that over 10 television programmes and films on
Armenian culture had been broadcast on the Kultura TV Channel over the
year.
