Discussed were issues related to the development of the Armenian-Austrian relations, regional and urgent international problems. The parties spoke also about the NK peace process and in that context discussed the meeting between the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan held today in Vienna.
Speaking about bilateral relations, Serzh Sargsyan and Heinz Fischer noted with satisfaction that the trade and economic cooperation formed between the two friendly countries, which enjoy high-level political relations, have also potential for the development of cultural and educational ties.
