    PUTIN HOPES TO DEVELOP RELATIONS WITH ARMENIA

    MOSCOW, March 24 (Itar-Tass) - Russian outgoing President Vladimir
    Putin said he hopes to develop relations with Armenia despite the
    difficult political situation in the republic.

    In his meeting with Armenian president-elect Serzh Sarkisyan on Monday,
    President Putin said, "Despite the difficult political situation in
    Armenia, I hope that relations will develop dynamically."

    "We hope that whatever the internal political situation develops in
    Armenia what we did in the previous years we'll continue to develop
    in the future," the Russian outgoing president said.

    Putin congratulated Sarkisyan on the convincing victory in the
    presidential elections.

    The Armenian president-elect said his country "needs further
    development of relations with Russia". "We've always praised your
    assistance in the pre-election campaign," Putin told Sarkisyan.

    "Both the president (Robert Kocharyan) and our ambassador (to Russia)
    gave me your message. I can say we'd never felt such approach,"
    Sarkisyan said.

    He also expressed hope for further development of cooperation with
    Russia. "We know Dmitry Medvedev as your like-minded person. Armenia
    hopes that his taking office will facilitate the development of
    relations between the two countries. We need further strengthening
    of cooperation," Sarkisyan said.
