The Kremlin on the details of Putin"s meeting with Sargsyan
The Kremlin press service reported that during today's meeting between Vladimir Putin and Armenian President Sargsyan, the main topic of discussion will be the Eurasian integration process, the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, peace in the region, and the bilateral cooperation.
As the site of GALA reported, citing a source in the Kremlin, it is scheduled to discuss the development of integration processes in the CIS, in particular - the prospects for cooperation between Armenia and the Customs Union and the Common Economic Space of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, and current issues of multilateral cooperation within the CSTO.
"It is assumed that the talks will focus on the important issues of security and stability in the South Caucasus, including the further steps to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. As one of the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia undertakes ongoing mediation efforts aimed at a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem," the press service of the Kremlin reported.
Recall that the main intrigue of the Moscow meeting is Russia's requirement to Armenia not to sign the Association Agreement with the EU this fall. Observers in Yerevan believe that Putin will exert open pressure on Sargsyan, claiming to support the Customs Union between Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus.
In Armenia the observers believe that Sargsyan will not yield to the pressure, and in response Moscow will supply new weapons to Azerbaijan, which could aggravate the situation at the front, and even become the basis for the resumption of hostilities.
Reorientation of Yerevan towards the European Union is mainly explained with the fact that Armenia was disappointed at Russia, which dramatically increased the price of gas for Armenia, bought the entire industrial infrastructure, but did not invest anything in Armenia, and then threw it in the lurch. -02D-
