1 Oct 04
[Presenter] Russian Federation Council Speaker Sergey Mironov arrived
in Yerevan on a three-day visit today. Sergey Mironov will meet the
country’s leadership during the visit. His meeting with the teachers
and students of Yerevan State University has also been scheduled. This
is Sergey Mironov’s third visit to Armenia. Answering journalists’
questions at the airport, Sergey Mironov spoke about the Armenian
cargo accumulated after security was stepped up on the
Georgian-Russian border.
[Sergey Mironov, captioned, at airport, in Russian with Armenian
voice-over] As long as we know that many terrorists feel free on
Georgian territory and, of course, after Beslan, we have had to take
appropriate steps. They had nothing to do with the Armenian cargo. We
are aware of Armenia’s problems in this sphere and are ready to help
Armenia. We hope that the Armenian leadership will show understanding
of the reasons that made us take the aforesaid steps.
