Yerevan, 11 May, ITAR-TASS correspondent Tigran Liloyan: Armenian
President Robert Kocharyan will pay a working visit to Moscow this
week, the press secretary of the republic’s president, Ashot Kocharyan,
has said. The trip will take place on 13-15 May, he clarified.

“Relations with Russia have the nature of strategic partnership and
are an important factor that ensures Armenia’s economic development
and security.” Robert Kocharyan’s official visit to Russia in January
last year, during which the two countries’ presidents continued their
dialogue, was an important stage in developing bilateral relations,
he recalled.

According to the press secretary, priority importance is attached to
economic cooperation at the moment. In this context, prospects for
economic development and for expanding economic relations will be
examined, Ashot Kocharyan said. The Armenian president will meet the
heads of Russian companies which supply natural gas to the republic,
as well as other representatives of business circles in Moscow.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
