Russian and Armenian president, Dmitry Medvedev and Serzh Sargsyan,
respectively, are meeting in the Kremlin on Tuesday.
The talks have begun from the presidents' one-on-one meeting and will
later continue with participation of the two countries. Following
their meeting the presidents are expected to sign a joint statement
covering a broad range of Russian-Armenian issues.
Among the key issues discussed between Medvedev and Sargsyan are the
prospects for economic relations between both countries, the situation
in the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement process and coordination in the
foreign policy steps in light of Armenia's forthcoming chairmanship
in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a source in
the Kremlin told Interfax.
Sargsyan is one of the first CIS leaders to arrive in Russia on a
formal visit. At the same time, the new Armenian president met twice
with Medvedev since his election as Russian president: on March 24
and June 6, 2008. Sargsyan attended informal CIS summits in Moscow
and St.Petersburg.
