    ArmInfo. Armenian government along with its partners should prepare
    serious investment programmes of mutual interest, and is going
    to submit it to the Anti-crisis Fund to get financing, Armenian
    Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisyan replied to ArmInfo correspondent's
    question and added the programmes should be of the regional nature
    as well. EurAsEC Economic Policy Council has adopted an anti-crisis
    action plan and set up an Anti-crisis Fund, the authorized capital of
    which is $10 mln. EurAsEC member states coordinated their aggregate
    contribution to the EurAsEC anti-crisis. Russia will contribute USD
    7.5 billion, Kazakhstan will allocate $1 billion, the rest USD 1.5
    will be allocated by other members.

    Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Armenia are pledged to contribute USD1
    million each. The fund will start working in three month, as soon
    as the relevant agreement is ratified. "This means that the given
    institution is formed for us to prepare the relevant programmes on the
    governmental level", - Armenian premier said. He also added that at the
    initial stage the countries have to give 10% of their allocation. "For
    the rest 90% we shall be able to issue securities or bonds, and in
    this way we shall prove Armenia's responsibility for implementation
    of this payment", - Sarkisyan said and added that financing will be
    implemented on the basis of repayment, financial solvency and risks
    assessment principles. "From this point of view Russia is also an
    interested party as the funds allocated by Russia will not lose,
    on the contrary, they will be provided with earning capacity. On the
    other hand, economical potential will be extended and opportunities
    for economical development created",- Sarkisyan assured.

    At the same time, Armenian premier said that according to the
    regulations, the Council will adopt decisions by simple majority
    of votes, but the decisions regarding the financial problems
    and obligations the Fund will adopt according to the volume of
    allocations of the member-states of the Fund. Sarkisyan also said that
    the programmes about turning Armenia into the regional financial,
    tourist and healthcare centre within the frames of the Anti-crisis
    Fund will get new stimulus. "These financial resources may also be
    used for development of the given programmes. It is clear if we have
    programmes at the regional level, this creates opportunities for our
    partners as well, to make use services of these centres", - Armenian
    premier emphasized.
