Armenia president to arrive in Russia

MOSCOW, June 23 (Itar-Tass) - Armenian President Serzh Sarkisyan will arrive on an official visit in Russia on Monday. The Russian visit of the Armenian president will last until June 25.

The Armenian president is planning to meet with Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, speakers of the Federation Council and the State Duma Sergei Mironov and Boris Gryzlov.

Sarkisyan will lay down a wreath to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Kremlin walls, the Armenian presidential press service told Itar-Tass.

Meanwhile, Sarkisyan intends to meet with representatives of the Armenian diaspora and Russian political experts.

The leaders of the countries are expected to discuss the whole scope of Russian-Armenian relations, regional and international problems. In June 2008 this will be already the second meeting between the presidents.

On June 6, Sarkisyan and Medvedev had talks during the CIS informal summit in Strlena, a Petersburg's suburb. Then the Russian president invited the Armenian counterpart to pay an official visit to Russia.

In late March 2008, the presidents met in Moscow. This was Sarkisyan's first foreign visit in the capacity of the president after the victory at the presidential elections in Armenia. During the Moscow talks they agreed to continue the cooperation between the countries at a so high level reached in the past few years.
