/PanARMENIAN.Net/ RA National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosian met
with Russian Prime Minister Victor Zubkov.
Assessing highly the Armenian-Russian cooperation, Mr Torosian said,

experiencing political and economic problems. It’s the region of
conflicts. Time has proved that cooperation with Russia contributes
to peace, stability and development of the region. Forthcoming
presidential elections in both states will offer new opportunities
for efficient cooperation."

cooperation, railway communication and some other issues with the
President and Prime Minister of Armenia.

the importance of interparliamentary cooperation between Armenia and
Russia, the RA NA press office reported.
