    President Serzh Sargsyan, who is ending later today a three-day
    official visit to Moscow, met with Boris Gryzlov, chairman of Russian
    State Duma (parliament).

    Welcoming Armenia's president Boris Gryzlov said that parliaments of
    Armenia and Russia enjoy close relationships with high-level meetings
    being held on a regular basis.

    In his words, the latest national elections in Armenia and Russia
    will give a new impetus to further development of their partnership
    relations. Boris Gryzlov emphasized also both countries' cooperation
    within international organizations. He welcomed Armenia's active
    participation in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO)
    underscoring that Armenia will assume soon its rotating chairmanship.

    The chairman of Russian State Duma singled out active economic ties
    between the two countries saying that close economic contacts have
    resulted in active cooperation in other sectors. He stressed the
    importance of active work of Russian-Armenian inter-parliamentary
    commission, which is going to have its next meetings in Moscow and
    Yerevan. He also expressed the readiness of Russian parliament to
    promote deepening of bilateral relations.

    President Serzh Sargsyan too underscored the work of the
    inter-parliamentary commission and existing ties between
    parliamentarians of both countries. He said Armenia and Russia have
    signed about 170 various-level bilateral documents, which are ratified
    by parliaments. He said active partnership is due also to well-designed
    legal framework.

    The Armenian president also emphasized the deepening of trade and
    economic relations noting that three are about 1000 companies in
    Armenia operating with Russian capital. He expressed confidence that
    the bilateral trade will soon cross the $1 billion line with increasing
    Russian investments in Armenian economy.

    Serzh Sargsyan and Boris Gryzlov discussed also other issues of
    bilateral interest.

    Armenian president made a note in the book of honorable guests of
