"BUILDING UP ARMENIAN-RUSSIAN COOPERATION ON WHOLE INTERACTION SPECTRUM UNDER WAY," ARMENIAN PRESIDENT SAID
"Building up the Armenian-Russian cooperation on the whole spectrum of interaction is under way and it pleases me," Armenian President Robert Kocharian stated in an interview with the Golos Armenii newspaper. In his words, the Russian President is expected to visit Armenia in spring. It is a good opportunity for joint evaluation of the way passed and defining cooperation task in the prospect, the Armenian leader added. Speaking of relations between Armenia and Georgia over the issue of Javakheti - a region of Georgia mostly populated by Armenians, Robert Kocharian noted that "the interaction between Armenia and Georgia over Javakhk should be of systematic nature and should have a serious financial component." "The understanding of this is available both in Armenia and Georgia. It is necessary to work out interaction mechanisms," he emphasized.
