ROBERT KOCHARIAN: VLADIMIR PUTIN AND I ARE ALIKE IN THE WAY OF THINKING
22.09.2000, MEDIAMAX, YEREVAN. Most of the questions I would like to touch upon during my visit to Moscow are in the economic cooperation sphere, where many objective, as well as subjective difficulties still exist, declared the President of Armenia Robert Kocharian in the interview to Russian "Ivzestiya" paper, which was published today.
"We have come to almost complete understanding with the Russian authorities on political issues, and the sphere of military cooperation between Armenia and Russia develops very dynamically in the sphere of our relations", Armenian President was quoted as saying.
Robert Kocharian also said that he easily comes to terms with Russian president Vladimir Putin. "We take the hint while communicating and discussing questions. It seems that our way of thinking is alike, we've grown up in the same country, after all. And to my mind, people of our generation can't but understand each other", said Armenian President.
The official visit of the Armenian President to Moscow will be held on September 25-27. -0-
