Russian businesses have been expanding presence in Armenia,
President Robert Kocharian said, as he received Russian presidential
representative in the Southern Federal District, Dmitry Kozak, who
is in Armenia on a working visit.
"Economic ties have been growing stronger and Russian businesses are
ever more present in the Armenian economy," Kocharian said.
Effective transport links between the two countries will be crucial
to wider trading and economic cooperation, he said.
The theme of transport was high on the agenda of Dmitry Kozak's talks
with Prime Minister Andranik Migranian.
The Armenian prime minister said the regular operation of the railway
ferry the Caucasus-Poti and resumption of railway traffic through
Abkhazia would provide major support for Russian-Armenian economic
cooperation.
As he visited the Russian military base in Armenia, Kozak thanked the
Armenian leadership for creating a favorable environment for Russian
military personnel.
