President Yeltsin Will Hold Several Meetings In Sochi Next Week


Boris Yeltsin will hold several meetings in Sochi next week. The Press Secretary of the President Dmitry Yakushkin said at a briefing in the Kremlin that the Head of State intends to devote the weekend to rest. He walks a lot, in spite of the fact that the weather in Sochi is not too good. At the same time, according to the Press Secretary, the amount of Boris Yeltsin's correspondence does not reduce, which means that a vacation of the President is "a relative notion". Yakushkin said that yesterday a special attention of the Head of State was paid to the events in Armenia. At the same time the Press Secretary said that Yeltsin emphasized that the events in the North Caucasus remain the most important for him and first of all it is the issue of settling refugees from the Chechen Republic and providing them with all necessary supplies.
