Russia, Armenia enjoy allied relations – Putin
SOCHI August 23
Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that relations between
Russia and Armenia have become truly allied.
"I am very pleased to say that our relations develop fairly well,
trade is growing to say nothing about relations in the political
sphere," the Russian president said at a meeting with his Armenian
counterpart Robert Kocharyan on Thursday.
"Our relations have become truly allied," Putin believes.
Robert Kocharyan echoed Putin’s words saying "the amount of our
cooperation grows in all directions – trade, foreign trade relations
and political cooperation".
"We must compare our positions, consult – this is a normal process,"
the Armenian leader believes. "I welcome this and I am ready to most
seriously contribute to this positive process," Kocharyan added.
