Yerevan, 3 December: Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Markaryan
received Moscow Mayor Yuriy Luzhkov and his delegation on 3
December. Noting the high level of relations between Armenia and
Russia, the parties also stressed the need for the further development
of cooperation between the Armenian government and other
administrative parts of the Russian Federation, particularly the
government of Moscow.
The governments of Armenia and Moscow have already approved the
composition of a working commission for cooperation in the commercial,
economic, scientific, technical, humanitarian and cultural areas,
Markaryan said. A draft programme on cooperation is being
prepared. The first meeting of the commission is scheduled for the
spring of 2005.
The Armenian premier suggested that major Moscow companies take more
active steps to enter and invest in the Armenian market. Markaryan
noted that Armenia is particularly interested in setting up joint
ventures processing fruit and vegetables.
Luzhkov promised to help resolve the mentioned issues. He expressed
satisfaction with the negotiations with the Armenian government, the
mayor's office of Yerevan and the development and implementation of
joint programmes. The programme of cooperation for 2005-2007, which
was signed between Moscow and Yerevan on 3 December, is an important
step in this direction, he said.
The sides also touched upon cooperation in the banking system, health,
transport, communications, education and culture, the press service of
the [Armenian] government said.
