“Advancement of Russian-Armenian cooperation is evident in all directions,” President Sarkisian said. “Close contacts between our people, cultural, educational, scientific ties are of particular important to us.”

According to a report released by the Kremlin, the two leaders discussed “interaction of the two countries in the political and economic spheres, in the sphere of security and humanitarian cooperation.”

“I would like to stress that all our teams are working hard on the implementation of our agreements reached during your visit to Russia last March,” Vladimir Putin is quoted in the press release. “And this work is yielding positive results. This does not even include our interaction in the areas of political contacts, security and the economy.
