“The meeting of Presidents Sargsyan and Putin in Sochi was a meeting of the presidents of two allied states, the agenda of which included key issues of bilateral interest – military, military-political, economic, political and humanitarian cooperation, as well as cooperation in other spheres. Russia is our key ally and we have to mention that Armenian-Russian relations are dynamically developing in all directions”, Sharmazanov stressed.

The parliament Vice President assesses it natural that the two Presidents touched upon Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement and regional security issues in general at the meeting. “It’s natural for two simple reasons.
