TBILISI, DFWatch-Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Yerevan
today for the first time in five years.
Russian media report that during his visit, Putin will meet with his
Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan.
There will also be held a Russia-Armenia regional forum, and the
Russian leader will visit the Russian military base in Gyumri. He is
also expected to sign a number of important documents.
Armenia announced September 3 that it would join the Eurasian Customs
Union, a proposed free trade bloc of former Soviet republics which
Putin has advocated for. EU's foreign policy spokesperson Catherine
Ashton has said for Armenia to join the Customs Union would be
incompatible with the country getting a Deep and Comprehensive Free
Trade Agreement with the EU.
The last time Putin visited Yerevan was in 2008.
