Putin to meet Armenian leader today

Russian President Vladimir Putin will be conducting negotiations with

The two leaders are expected to discuss the prospects of expanding
bilateral trade and economic cooperation between the two countries,
including the implementation of large-scale projects sponsored by
Russian businesses. Putin and Kocharian will also exchange opinions
on international politics and share their outlooks for settling the
Karabakh conflict and the Caucasus situation in general, as well as
discuss preparations for the upcoming CIS, CSTO (Collective Security
Treaty Organization) and EurAsEC (Eurasian Economic Community)
summits, scheduled for October 2007 in Dushanbe.
