Moscow, 22 June: Russian President Putin considers Armenia's observer
status in the Eurasian Economic Community to be useful.
"The fact that you, in your capacity as a head of state, already take
part in the work of the Eurasian Economic Community on a regular
basis, is a very good influence, a positive signal," Putin said today
at a meeting with the Armenian President Robert Kocharyan. "Although
Armenia is present in this organization in the capacity of observer, I
am sure that this benefits cooperation between all of our countries,"
he said.
Putin is also satisfied that Moscow and Yerevan maintain permanent
dialogue. "I want to express my satisfaction that we have had such
close contacts in recent times," the Russian leader said.
The Armenian president thinks that today's meeting with Putin is
useful as a means to discuss bilateral relations "and in particular to
continue the conversation which took place in Yerevan". Kocharyan
said: "I would like to discuss the energy sector, very specific
investment projects."
"The orders which were given have been fulfilled, things are going
quite dynamically," Kocharyan said. However, the Armenian leader said
"there are a few issues in bilateral relations which must be corrected
".
