Succession in development of the Russian-Armenian relations will be maintained after 2008 presidential elections in both states, Russian Prime Minister Victor Zubkov said when opening talks with his Armenian counterpart Serge Sargsyan.

"I see our common task in development of allied ties, first of all in economic and humanitarian fields," PM Zubkov said.

Today's negotiations will result in signature of some agreements, according to him.

For his part, the Armenian Prime Minister said, "Bilateral relations between our states are developing dynamically. For the initial six months of 2007 the commodity turnover has exceeded 70%. It's a good index," ITAR-TASS reports.
