YEREVAN. - Russian Federation (RF) President Vladimir Putin's visit
to Armenia was expected in the latter half of September, Azg daily
reports.
"A source close to the Kremlin, however, informs that this visit will
not take place.
"According to an assumption, the reason might be that Putin has
received what he wanted from Armenia and what he earlier expected to
receive during his visit to Armenia.
"For reasons known only to him, Putin accelerated the processes
and received what was to be received during [Armenian President]
Serzh Sargsyan's visit to RF. So, there is no need for Putin's visit
to Armenia.
"According to another assumption, Putin is very sensitive toward
discontent against him and he does not want to witness the expressions
of the current anti-Russian sentiments in Armenia, which [i.e., the
expressions] could especially be manifested during the days of his
visit," Azg writes.
To note, as a result of the talks that were held on September 3
in Moscow between Armenian and Russian Presidents Serzh Sargsyan
and Vladimir Putin, it was announced that Armenia plans to join the
Customs Union and subsequently engage in the formation of the Eurasian
Economic Union.
