There is not any link between visits of Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan
to Moscow, and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov to Yerevan, said Lavrov
and his Armenian counterpart Nalbandian at today's press conference.
"My visit to Armenia was in scheduled list, and we reached an agreement
on this visit a month and a half ago, while Turkey's Prime Minister
said wants to visit Moscow some days before," said Lavrov.
Armenian Foreign Minister Nalbandian, in his turn, confirmed the
agreement on Lavrov's visit to Armenia was reached during the OCSE
Ministerial session in Athens.
Both officials stressed the importance of Lavrov's visit to Armenia,
as it marks the first relations between the counties in 2010. "This
is a symbolic visit, as Armenia is Russia's strategic partner and an
ally," Lavrov said.
