TIGRAN SARKISSIAN SEIZED THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY

The Armenian delegation headed by Prime Minister Tigran Sarkissian left for Minsk yesterday evening to participate in the sitting of the CIS Council of Heads of Government.
Preceding the sitting the Armenian Premier had a meeting with his Georgian counterpart Lado Gurgenidze.
The parties spoke about the current programmes of cooperation and the existing problems. Assessing the cooperation in the energy sphere as rather productive, the interlocutors attached importance to the intensification of mutual investments in the financial-banking and other spheres, as well as the collaboration within the framework of regional programs.
Seizing the opportunity Tigran Sarkissian presented the problems of the Armenian side and asked Gurgenidze for advice, reports the press service of the RoA Government.
He mainly referred to high tariffs levied on the Armenian transits by the Georgian side and the violations and provocations of Georgian religious and temporal radicals against Armenian churches.
Lado Gurgenidze condemned all extreme approaches and provocations and promised to intervene after a thorough study of the matter.
