SOCHI, AUGUST 23, ARMENPRESS: Welcoming today his Armenian counterpart
Robert Kocharian in the resort town of Sochi on the Black Sea coast,
Russian president Vladimir Putin described his country’s relationships
with Armenia as ‘truly allied."
"It gives me a pleasure to say that our relationships are developing
well, trade between our countries is on the steady rise, let alone
political relationships," Putin said. "Our relationships have become
truly allied," he added.
Kocharian said he shares this description. "Our partnership is
increasing in all directions embracing trade, military-technical
cooperation and political interaction," he said.
"We need to compare our positions, to consult and this is a natural
process," he said. "I am happy for it and am prepared to help this
positive trend go ahead,’ he said.
This is the second meeting of Armenian and Russian presidents in the
Russian resort city. Their previous meeting was last January and was
reportedly focused on boosting Russian-Armenian commercial relations.
