April 3, 2001 - 17:45 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - YEREVAN, April 3. /Mediamax/. President of Armenia Robert Kocharian believes that "implementing our interests we are seriously lobbying the interests of Russia".

Answering the questions of the "hot line" of "Golos Armenii" paper, the President of Armenia named "speculative" the talks about coolness of Armenian-Russian relations.

According to him, development of relations with the Russian Federation is rather dynamic.

"We must speak about our relations as relations of allies and partners with equal rights," Kocharian said. "It would be much worse if we start to consider ourselves as branch of another country in this region. In that case, I assure you, there will be no respect towards us, including from Russia," Armenian President stressed. --0--
