Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan held a meeting with his Russian
counterpart Vladimir Putin in Moscow, Russia.
The Russian leader congratulated Serzh Sargsyan on his re-election
as Armenia's president.
"This convincing victory is evidence of people's trust and is a
chance for you to accomplish the tasks you set to yourself during
the election campaign," Mr Putin said to Armenia's leader.
President Serzh Sargsyan thanked the Russian leader and said that
his visit to Russia as his first foreign visit was natural.
"Russia is our strategic partner, that's all," Armenia's president
said. He invited the Russian leader to pay a state visit to Armenia.
"Our relations are successfully developing despite the global
economic problems. Russia is consistently Armenia's leading foreign
trade partner, as well as leader in terms of investments," President
Vladimir Putin said. He recalled last year's US $1.2bn bilateral
trade turnover, which showed an increase of more than 20%.
"We also have political contacts at all levels. All this creates
prerequisites for stronger ties between people. We have very many
Armenians in Russia. They are respectable and hard-working citizens
of our country. This is additional potential uniting us," the Russian
leader said.
"We have passed a good way and achieved exceptional results in all
the fields - political, economic, military and humanitarian - as well
as in integration processes," Serzh Sargsyan said in response.
Armenia's leader also pointed out progress in Armenian-Russian
military cooperation. Official Yerevan appreciates the Russian defense
minister's visit to Armenia on Armenian Army Day, Serzh Sargsyan said.
