Yerevan, 14 September: The deepening of cooperation between the
subjects of the Russian Federation is a good base for the development
of Armenian-Russian interstate relations, Armenian President Robert
Kocharyan said at a meeting with St Petersburg Governor Valentina
Matviyenko today.
Robert Kocharyan and Valentina Matviyenko noted the importance of
more active business contacts and of an exchange of information,

The St Petersburg governor said they did not only want to restore
previous relations with the Armenian capital and outlined new spheres

in the sphere of culture as St Petersburg is a major scientific
and cultural centre and Armenia has always been known for its great
scientific and cultural potential.
