Armenian leader, Russian deputy premier discuss cooperation
[Presenter] Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan today held a one-to-one
meeting with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergey Ivanov, who is on an
official visit to Armenia.
Welcoming the high-ranking guest, Sargsyan expressed his hope that
Ivanov's visit to Yerevan would provide an additional impetus to the
expansion of strategic partnership relations between Armenia and
Russia. The two men noted long-time joint work in different official
posts, as well as warm relations formed during these years. The
Armenian president and the Russian deputy prime minister expressed
their satisfaction with the highest level of strategic relations and
political dialogue existing between the two countries at
present. Mutually developed cooperation in different spheres, as well
as new initiatives and projects testify to this, the meeting noted.
Sargsyan and Ivanov highly rated the dynamic development of trade and
economic ties between the two partner countries, as well as the
highest level of cooperation in the humanitarian sphere. Issues
concerning cooperation in different spheres, including transport,
telecommunications and energy, were also discussed at the
meeting. They also touched on the Karabakh peace process and exchanged
views on regional and international problems. The Armenian president
once again noted that any preconditions for normalizing
Armenian-Turkish relations are ruled out and confirmed Armenia's
readiness to normalize relations with Turkey within the framework of
the agreements and deadline that have been reached.
Sargsyan also noted that any attempts by Turkey to interfere in the
process of the Karabakh conflict settlement can have a negative
influence on the negotiating process in the conflict settlement.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergey Ivanov today told journalists
that Russia is the main investor in Armenia. Almost all of Russia's
major companies have been involved in the Armenian market, he
added. He also said that Russian investment in Armenia stands at 1.8bn
dollars. Issues of cooperation in different spheres, including the
spheres of transport, energy, technology and aircraft construction
were discussed during Ivanov's visit to Armenia.
[Ivanov speaking in Russian with Armenian voice-over] I am sure that
two modern Sukhoy Superjet aircraft invented by Russian citizen
Mikhail Poghosyan will be delivered to Armavia [company] at the end of
this year. The last testing of the aircraft will be held in Armenian
mountains in July.
