    Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov extended greeting from Putin
    to Sargsyan and briefed the president on his meeting earlier in the
    day with Armenian counterpart Eduard Nalbandyan

    YEREVAN, June 23. /ITAR-TASS/. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said
    at a meeting with visiting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov
    on Monday that Armenia was set for an active and serious cooperation
    with Russia.

    "Armenia is set for an active and serious cooperation with Russia since
    this is the only approach that corresponds with historic traditions
    of the both nations and certainly with developed relations of allied
    and strategic nature," Sargsyan said.

    The president said he was positive that "the current visit of the
    Russian foreign minister will be fruitful and turn into an important
    step toward the enhancement of the allied relationship between the
    two states."

    According to the president, the agreements reached during the official
    visit of President Vladimir Putin to Armenia last year on December 2
    and the bilateral meeting between the presidents on May 8 in Moscow
    "enriched the bilateral agenda."

    "Undoubtedly, the implementation of these agreements will boost
    all spheres of cooperation between Russia and Armenia, ranging from
    the coordination in the foreign policy sector to cooperation in the
    humanitarian sphere," Sargsyan said.

    Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov extended greeting from Putin
    to Sargsyan and briefed the president on his meeting earlier in the
    day with Armenian counterpart Eduard Nalbandyan.

    He said that among the issues discussed with the Armenian top diplomat
    was the issue on Armenia's joining the Eurasian Economic Union,
    which will become operational within the Customs Union of Russia,
    Belarus and Kazakhstan from January 1, 2015.

    The two ministers also discussed the issue of the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict settlement.

    Nagorno-Karabakh sought independence from Azerbaijan at the end of
    the 1980s, which resulted in a war between Azerbaijan and Armenia that
    claimed the lives of 25,000-30,000 people between 1988 and 1994. Since
    then, the territory has been controlled by Armenia.

    The OSCE Minsk Group, which comprises Russia, France and the United
    States, acts as a mediator in the conflict.
