MOSCOW. Sept 2
President Vladimir Putin is to meet with Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan on September 3 during Sargsyan's working visit to Moscow.
"The talks will center on ways to ensure stability and security
in the Transcaucasus region and on further steps to settle the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said.
He said Russia, as a co-chair of the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe's Minsk Group (alongside France and the United
States) continues active diplomatic efforts to ensure a peaceful
settlement to the Nagorno Karabakh problem.
Putin and Sargsyan will also discuss prospects of Armenia's interaction
with the Customs Union and the Common Economic Space between Russia,
Belarus and Kazakhstan, as well as multilateral cooperation within the
Collective Security Treaty Organization and the main aspects of the
bilateral agenda. The Russian and Armenian leaders' previous meeting
was held in Moscow on March 12 2013 during Sargsyan's first foreign
visit following election.
Russia is Armenia's leading trade partner which accounts for 23.5%
in its foreign trade balance. Trade between the two countries topped
$1.2 billion in 2012 up 22.3% vs. 2011. It increased by 13.2% in
January to June, reaching $600.5 million. Exports grew by 10.4%
to $452.5 million and imports by 22.6% to $147.9 million.
The Russian-Armenian Intergovernmental Commission for Economic
Cooperation will meet in St. Petersburg on September 30 - October 1,
Ushakov said.
