Yerevan, 7 December: Armenian and Russian parliamentarians have agreed
upon more active coordination of cooperation within international
organizations, "which will allow the two countries to effectively
protect their interests", the vice-speaker of the Armenian National
Assembly and co-chairman of the Armenian-Russian interparliamentary
commission, Vaan Ovanesyan, told Mediamax in Yerevan today.
The vice-speaker expressed hope that the agreements reached at the
latest meeting of the commission in Moscow would be put into practice
in the months to come "during the forthcoming serious discussions of
the Nagornyy Karabakh problem and the situation in Chechnya at the
parliamentary assemblies of the Council of Europe, the OSCE and NATO".
The parliamentarians of the two counties appealed to the co-chairmen
of the Armenian-Russian intergovernmental commission and the Armenian
and Russian foreign ministers, suggesting that a ferry link be put into
operation between the port Kavkaz [in Russia's Krasnodar Territory] and
Poti [in Georgia] before the direct railway through Abkhazia reopens.
The Armenian vice-speaker said that the operation of the ferry
would allow it to avoid adverse effects on the Armenian economy of
incidents such as the closure of the Verkhniy Lars checkpoint on the
Russian-Georgian border in September-October this year.
