YEREVAN, MARCH 22, ARMENPRESS: The regular session of the
inter-parliamentary cooperation commission between the Armenian
and Belarus parliaments took place today at the Armenian National
Assembly. Armenian co-chair of the commission, member of the ARF
faction Hrayr Karapetyan said today at a press conference followed
after the session that during the gathering they discussed a number
of issues of mutual interest, which mainly related to the political,
cultural, energy, economic, scientific and educational spheres. H.
Karapetyan said that Belarus is considered one of the strategic
allies for Armenia as it is also CSTO member thus cooperation with
this country is of great importance for Armenia.
"Our ties are on a quite high level. We cooperate at our best in
military, security spheres. We must exert efforts for the consolidation
and development of bilateral ties," H. Karapetyan said.
By the way he informed that in near future visit of the NA Speaker
Hovik Abrahamyan to Belarus is intended and during the session issues
relating to the time of the visit have been discussed.
Deputy Belarus NA speaker Valeri Ivanov once again highlighted the
consolidation of inter-parliamentary ties. "Our country gives great
importance to the development of ties with our brotherly Armenia. We
will follow the implementation of the arrangements reached during the
session," Ivanov said. According to him, the level of trade turnover
between our countries does not correspond to the level of strategic
partnership established between Armenia and Belarus. In near future
steps will be undertaken to develop the trade turnover between the two
countries. "Our country displays interest toward the Armenian products
and we are interested to import them to the Belarusian market," Ivanov
said, noting that during the coming ten years Belarus is planning to
construct a nuclear unit and the two countries will have an opportunity
of experience exchange which is of great importance to Belarus.
Hrayr Karapetyan said that the increase of the volume of trade
turnover will be promoted by cooperation between the provinces of
the two countries and consolidation of ties.
