    Armenia to set up free trade zone for developing Russian business


    ST PETERSBURG. Armenia intends to create a free trade zone that will
    become a basis for development of Russian business, Prime Minister
    Tigran Sargsyan said at a meeting with his Russian counterpart,
    Vladimir Putin.

    Creating attractive conditions for Russian business is one of the
    Armenian government's priorities, Sargsyan said, expressing hope that
    a new impetus will be given to Russian-Armenian relations next year.

    The free trade zone comprising an industrial park and an innovations
    fund is to be set up on the premises of the Mars plant in Yerevan,
    capital of Armenia. The relevant bill has been prepared and will be
    considered in Armenian parliament in 1q11.

    Russia-Armenia trade, which dropped by approximately 20% during the
    economic downturn, has resumed growth and increased 16% in
    January-September, Putin said.
