bilateral relations and international problems. In short, the plans
are tight and diverse, the Federation Council head noted.
The delegation is planned to meet with Armenian President Robert
Kocharyan, Prime Minister Andranik Markaryan and Catholicos Garegin
II, visit Yerevan's State University and lay flowers at the memorial
to victims of the 1915 genocide.
The members of the Federation Council, which is a house of regions,
will attend the opening of the centre for Armenian-Russian
interregional cooperation assistance.
The agreement to open the centre was reached last spring at the
conference in Samara on Russian-Armenian interregional

important factor to consolidate comprehensive relations between the
two countries.
The Russian parliamentarians will also visit Russian Motorised
Infantry Regiment 123 deployed in Armenia.
