THE KREMLIN ON THE DETAILS OF PUTIN'S MEETING WITH SARGSYAN
Turan Information Agency, Azerbaijan
September 4, 2013 Wednesday
The Kremlin press service reported that during today's meeting
between Vladimir Putin and Armenian President Sargsyan, the main
topic of discussion will be the Eurasian integration process, the
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, peace in the region,
and the bilateral cooperation.
As the site of GALA reported, citing a source in the Kremlin, it is
scheduled to discuss the development of integration processes in the
CIS, in particular - the prospects for cooperation between Armenia
and the Customs Union and the Common Economic Space of Russia, Belarus
and Kazakhstan, and current issues of multilateral cooperation within
the CSTO.
"It is assumed that the talks will focus on the important issues of
security and stability in the South Caucasus, including the further
steps to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. As one of the co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia undertakes ongoing mediation efforts
aimed at a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem,"
the press service of the Kremlin reported.
Recall that the main intrigue of the Moscow meeting is Russia's
requirement to Armenia not to sign the Association Agreement with the
EU this fall. Observers in Yerevan believe that Putin will exert open
pressure on Sargsyan, claiming to support the Customs Union between
Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus.
In Armenia the observers believe that Sargsyan will not yield to the
pressure, and in response Moscow will supply new weapons to Azerbaijan,
which could aggravate the situation at the front, and even become
the basis for the resumption of hostilities.
Reorientation of Yerevan towards the European Union is mainly
explained with the fact that Armenia was disappointed at Russia,
which dramatically increased the price of gas for Armenia, bought
the entire industrial infrastructure, but did not invest anything in
Armenia, and then threw it in the lurch. -02D-
