    CIS COUNTRIES' ECONOMIC INTEGRATION ON THE RISE


    YEREVAN, March 4 (RIA Novosti's Gamlet Matevosyan) - In the opinion of
    Vladimir Rushailo, executive chairman of the CIS Executive Committee and CIS
    executive secretary, the CIS countries' economic integration is obviously on
    the rise now.

    "For instance, 24 interstate programs have been adopted in the economic
    sphere, and 6 programs are at a feasibility study stage now. However, there
    is a problem of enhancing efficiency,' said Vladimir Rushailo to journalists
    in Yerevan when talking about the results of his visit to Armenia.

    In his words, great attention is given now to exhibitions and fairs. For
    instance, the exhibits of four CIS countries, i.e., Armenia, Georgia,
    Kirghizia and Ukraine, are functioning now at the All-Russia Exhibition
    Centre (VVTs) in Moscow.

    "The best of them is the Armenian exhibition presenting a wide range of
    goods produced in Armenia," Vladimir Rushailo noted.

    He expressed hope that the number of CIS countries' exhibits at the VVTs
    would increase in the near future.

    Apart from this, trading houses have been opened in a number of CIS
    countries, i.e., in Russia, Belarus and Tajikistan. Soon, such trading
    houses will also open in Uzbekistan and Armenia.

    "These will be effective means of raising the CIS countries' economic
    integration level," the CIS executive secretary said.

    The head of the CIS Executive Committee was on a visit to Armenia on March
    2-4. While in Yerevan, Vladimir Rushailo met with Robert Kocheryan,
    Armenia's president, Serj Sarkisyan, secretary of the National Security
    Council and Armenia's defense minister, Gegam Garibdjanyan, deputy foreign
    minister, and Aik Arutunyan, the chief of Armenia's police.

    At the meetings, the sides discussed the implementation of the decisions
    adopted by the summit of the CIS countries' leaders in Astana last September
    and preparations to the forthcoming sessions of CIS countries' supreme
    statutory bodies.
