After the business forum held within the frameworks of Syrian
President Bashar al Asad's visit to Armenia (June 17-18) the Syrian
businessmen displayed interest in export of construction materials
from Armenia. Chief Director of Armenian Development Agency Robert
Harutyunian told Armenpress that in Syria there is especially a demand
for cement. This state will also be used as a transit state to the
African market.
The European states are also interested in the purchase of
construction materials. R. Harutyunian informed that a project of
export of construction materials from Armenia is also being discussed
with the Czech Republic. The Czech constructors show interest in
exporting especially the Armenian stones - basalt, travertine,
touf. In the Russian Kaliningrad province there is an interest
towards the decorative facing stones. R. Harutyunian considers it
interesting that in Kaliningrad the constructors got interested in
the four types of stones which were used during the construction of
Armenian Culture House. Chief Director of Armenian Development Agency
noted that each proposal results in the necessity of market study and
we must definitely know how the product must reach the other state
and how much will it cost, whether it will be compatible or not. The
issue of transportation calculation must be solved. As a result of
the crisis the construction and house building sphere has greatly
suffered and according to R. Harutyunian it somehow froze the already
reached agreements with Iran on the construction material export.
