In his turn, Dmitry Medvedev pointed to the growth in trade turnover between Armenia and Russia, and expressed a satisfaction by the bilateral trade and economic ties. “We are in constant dialogue, everything is good with us, and the results are not bad either. The key indicator is trade turnover, [and] it grows,” the Russian PM noted.
Sargsyan and Medvedev made arrangement that the Russian side may discuss its attendance to the donors’ conference with the European Union and the World Bank, and Sargsyan received the support from his Russian counterpart.
The interlocutors also discussed the project of building a new nuclear power plant in Armenia, and Russia is expected to take part in the funding of this project.
