YEREVAN, May 20. /ARKA/. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan will attend the Riga Summit, Novosti-Armenia reported Wednesday referring to Vahram Baghdasaryan, head of the faction of the Republican Party of Armenia at the National Assembly.
«All the details of this visit will become known after the party's executive board members gather today,» Baghdasaryan said. «These issues have not been discussed yet, it has only been decided that the president will attend the summit.»
