MOSCOW. Oct 24 (Interfax) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan are holding negotiations at the Kremlin.
"I wish to cordially greet you in Moscow once again and repeat that this year is certainly very important for the bilateral relations due to a number of major decisions concerning the multifaceted alliance between our countries," Medvedev said as he opened the negotiations in a narrow circle.
This is a state visit, which symbolizes the strategic partnership of Russia and Armenia and displays their latest vital achievements, he said.
"Although this is a state visit, which must be ceremonious, the visit has features of a working one. We will have full-scale negotiations in narrow and broad circles, will cover all bilateral and regional cooperation subjects and will speak about economic and military-technical cooperation, our multifaceted relations and our priorities at regional forums, such as allied structures of the CSTO type," Medvedev said.
Other issues will be touched upon, as well, he said.
