Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Armenia to take part in
memory events on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide, visiting speaker of the Russian State Duma lower parliament
house Sergei Naryshkin said on Monday
"A fresh impetus to our contacts will be given by a forthcoming visit
to Armenia by Vladimir Putin, who will take part in events dedicated
to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman
Empire," Naryshkin said at a meeting with his Armenian counterpart
Galust Saakyan.
Naryshkin said that the Russian State Duma will also send its
representatives to the memory events in Yerevan. Apart from that,
he said, the Duma will pass a document to convey its attitude towards
the Armenian Massacre.
Earlier, Russian president's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said the
date of Putin's visit was being coordinated. "Indeed, such visit is
on the agenda," he told journalists.
Events in memory of the 1915 Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire
will be held in Yerevan on April 22-24. Armenia's leaders have
invited heads of state and governments and delegations from dozens
of countries.
