Russian president meets Armenian counterpart
9 August 2014 - 5:53pm
Russian President Vladimir Putin has met in Sochi with his Armenian
counterpart Serzh Sargsyan. The parties focused on Armenia's
integration into the Eurasian Economic Union established by Russia,
Kazakhstan and Belarus and the situation surrounding the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
President Putin stressed that Russian-Armenian ties are "friendly and
strategic." According to Putin, the recent decision to join the
Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic Union made by the Armenian
leadership proves this.
The parties also discussed the ongoing Ukrainian crisis.
The Armenian president also told his Russian counterpart that Armenia
believed Azerbaijan is trying to cause an escalation of the Karabakh
conflict.
President Sargsyan overtly referred to recent tensions on the
Azerbaijani-Armenian front line, where a number of Azerbaijani
servicemen have died recently, allegedly preventing Armenian
saboteurs from entering Azerbaijani territory.
