RA president touched upon Vienna talks initiated by foreign ministers of OSCE co-chair countries and expressed his hopes concerning the consistent implementation of the decisions adopted jointly with the foreign ministers of co-chair countries.

“Today the session of the Union’s Eurasian Intergovernmental Council will be held in an extended format. Economic issues which are of benefit for all the countries will be observed first of all. I want to extend my gratitude to government leaders, for the invitation to hold this event in Yerevan for the first time. ”
The Head of European Commission, by the way, represents Armenia, which is symbolic in this sense. My last visit to Armenia was in times when the country went through difficult times. In Russia, We kept track of the course of events, trying to assist in the settlement of the existing situation.
"It is necessary to maintain the ceasefire regime. In fact, I totally approve your meeting with Azerbaijani President in Vienna, as well as the efforts within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group to continue the talks in order to prevent similar incidents in the future.
You can be on the safe side: Russia has always helped Armenia and will continue to help in conflict settlement. And now we will get down to discussion of related issues”, - said Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
