YEREVAN, October 18. /ARKA/. On Tuesday at the 11th session of
the Armenia-Russian Interparliamentary Commission on Cooperation
Co-Chairman Nikolay Ryjkov said the economic cooperation between
Armenia and Russia was stirring up, although mutual commodity turnover
had become difficult, because of worsening of Russian-Georgian
relations.
He also pointed out that separate incidents, taking place with
Armenians in Russia, shouldn't be considered from the viewpoint of
national discrimination. Meantime Ryjkov admitted that it's a serious
problem, which shouldn't be ignored by Russian authorities.
In his turn a member of the Commission, deputy of the RF State Duma
Igor Chernyshov stated that Armenian-Russian economic relations
possessed both progress and unsolved problems.
"Volume of Russian investments had significantly increased. In
Armenia there are 700 enterprises, in which Russia had invested big
funds. Cooperation in banking and energy spheres has also stirred up
between the two countries", Chernyshenko emphasized.
