    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Considerable activation of economic cooperation
    Armenia and Russia is observed within past 5 years. The commodity
    turnover has increased 30%, stated Armenian Co-Chair of the
    Armenian-Russian Inter-Governmental Commission, Defense Minister
    Serge Sargsyan at the opening of the Commission session. "I consider
    important to note that the activation takes place not only between
    state organizations, but also between private companies. This let
    us hope that correct guidelines are chosen in the Armenian-Russian
    cooperation," Mr. Sargsyan said. In his opinion, active participation
    of two states in solution of transport communication issues also
    formed basis for creation of new joint projects.

    Apparently, the potential of cooperation is underused, the Minister
    added.

    "To be more exact, we have used a paltry part of the potential. Thus,
    we see large opportunities for increasing the technical component of
    our cooperation in forming advanced agriculture," Sargsyan stated.

    "We are interested in Russia's new experience in innovation policy
    and creation of technological parks. Within that context enterprises
    Armenia has conveyed to Russia that have a considerable scientific and
    technical potential may be a link," he added. Business goes there,
    where it feels more comfortable, S. Sargsyan remarked. "I consider
    discussing steps that would promote forming a more favorable business
    atmosphere at a Forum expedient.

    It is well known that taking businessmen's opinion into account
    is useful.

    It might be necessary to provide business information to entrepreneurs,
    perfect customs procedures, organization of consignment stores, etc.,"
    the Minister stated.

    He specially noted the intensively growing direct ties between Russian
    regions and Armenia. Armenian trade houses were founded in a number of
    regions of Russia. The building of the House of Moscow has started
    in Yerevan. The diversification of this kind pleases because it
    will be able to use the whole cooperation potential owing to direct
    relations. "In all affairs, even so more in inter-state economic
    cooperation cultural and human ties have had a special role. Here
    we have a large reserve, gained during several centuries. It is the
    firm foundation we can build the further cooperation stories on,"
    S. Sargsyan remarked. In his words, "during the work of the Commission
    we have been trying to solve the matter of regular launching of
    Kavkaz-Poti train-ferry passage for a long time. The Russian party
    considers absence of commercial load from Armenia a cause preventing
    Kavkaz-Poti regular passages, Serge Sargsyan concluded
