    Russian-Armenian cooperation is a remarkable factor, which can help
    ensure security and stability in Transcaucasia, Russian Deputy Foreign
    Minister Grigory Karasin said.

    Karasin took part in a regional meeting that involved Russian
    ambassadors to Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkey, the Foreign
    Ministry reported on Wednesday.

    Armenian President Robert Kocharyan stressed, "It is important to
    strengthen strategic partnership between the two countries." "The
    recent agreements on cooperation in the gas sector opens new prospects
    for economic cooperation," the president said.

    Both sides "showed interest in carrying out economic projects,
    primarily in the energy sector and transport, to create conditions
    for improving all-Caucasian cooperation," the ministry said.

    "Moscow and Yerevan confirmed that they sought to improve cooperation
    within the CIS and the Collective Security Treaty Organisation. It
    is necessary to strengthen humanitarian relations in the CIS," the
    ministry noted.

    Russian and Armenian officials also exchanged views on the
    Nagorno-Karabakh settlement and stability in the region.
