    UKRAINE, ARMENIA FIRM TO FURTHER DEVELOP TIES

    KIEV, MAY 12, ARMENPRESS: Ukrainian prime minister Viktor Yanukovich
    told the visiting Armenian counterpart, Andranik Margarian on
    Tuesday that Kiev was satisfied with the level of cooperation with
    Armenia. Speaking to a joint news conference after the session of a
    joint Ukrainian-Armenian inter-governmental commission on economic
    cooperation, the Ukraine's prime minister said a significant progress
    has been achieved since the two governments decided to boost their
    trade, economic and other ties. He said the trade turnover between
    the two countries grew by 1.4 times last year and this figure is
    expected to double this year.

    Yanukovich said the main focus in his talks with Margarian was that
    sweeping measures should be applied to eliminate all obstacles to
    developing partnership relations, the major one of which is transport
    communication.

    Yanukovich said Ukraine is planning to take part in the construction
    of Iran-Armenia gas pipeline. "We have sufficient resources and
    technical means for that," he said.

    Andranik Margarian said that the construction of the pipeline
    would become a very promising pattern of bilateral cooperation with
    Ukraine. He said "technical consultations are being conducted with
    the Iranian side now" after which decisions will be made on funding
    and selection of contractors through tenders. "Ukraine will have a
    chance to participate in them," Andranik Margarian said.

    Prime minister Margarian also both governments will continue to
    elaborate around 60 bilateral documents to facilitate relations between
    the two nations. Margarian also invited his Ukrainian counterpart to
    visit Armenia.
