/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
