Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan extended his condolences to his
Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in connection with the recent fire
at a shopping center in Kazan, Tatarstan, that claimed human lives.
According to the presidential press service, on Saturday, President
Sargsyan conveyed condolences to the families and friends of the
victims and wished a speedy recovery to those injured in the accident.
The death toll in the Kazan blaze reached 16. The search operation
continued as of the weekend.
Earlier, on March 12, President Sargsyan, according to his press
service, had a telephone conversation with Putin that focused on
bilateral relations between the two countries as well as integration
as part of the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union.
The Kremlin press service also reported about this conversation
that made international news due to the circumstance that Putin
had apparently not been seen in public since March 5. Earlier, the
Russian leader also postponed his trip to Astana where he was due to
meet with the presidents of Kazakhstan and Belarus.
This circumstance had caused various rumors on the Internet, including
those about the state of health of the 62-year-old Russian leader. But
Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told media that the Russian president
was in good health and was regularly holding meetings and working
with documents. The Kremlin also announced that Putin will have a
meeting with his Kyrgyz counterpart on Monday.
